Today (August 13), the People’s Court of Ho Chi Minh City opened a trial for defendants: Nguyen Hoang Kim Vy (former Director of Vietbank, Tran Nao Transaction Office) on charges of “Embezzlement of Property”; Nguyen Thuy Lien (former Controller of Tran Nao Transaction Office) and Nguyen Thi Van (former Transaction Officer of Tran Nao Transaction Office) were charged with “Violation of regulations on banking activities and other activities related to banking activities.”
The defendants in court.
In addition to the three defendants mentioned above, the indictment stated that during the investigation, Ho Chi Minh City Police Department received ten more denuncias against Mrs. Nguyen Hoang Kim Vy and Mr. Le Anh Tuan (Deputy Director of Vietbank, Tran Nao Branch) for fraudulently inducing customers to sign blank credit contracts and issue credit cards at this bank with the aim of appropriating property.
The initial investigation results indicated wrongdoing by Nguyen Hoang Kim Vy and Le Anh Tuan. However, due to the time limit for investigation, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department separated the acts and related documents concerning the denunciations for further investigation and handling in accordance with Decision No. 3425 dated March 19, 2024.
According to the indictment read in court, on May 24, 2021, Mrs. Nguyen Thi B. transferred and opened three savings books worth VND 3.5 billion at the Tran Nao Transaction Office. Mrs. B. also authorized her husband to carry out related procedures.
On June 28, 2021, needing money to pay off debts, Nguyen Hoang Kim Vy instructed Nguyen Thi Van and Nguyen Thuy Lien to fictitiously liquidate the three savings books mentioned above.
Following Nguyen Hoang Kim Vy’s instructions, Nguyen Thi Van executed four payment orders to transfer money from Mrs. Nguyen Thi B.’s account to the beneficiary, Nguyen Thi Thuong.
In October 2021, Mrs. B.’s husband went to the bank to request the liquidation of the savings books and was informed by the bank staff that the assets had already been liquidated and the money withdrawn.
After the customer complained without results, the wrongdoing of the defendants was reported.
The police investigation determined that the liquidation documents for the three savings books did not have the original savings books as required by the bank. All payment orders lacked the signatures of Mr. and Mrs. B.
During the investigation, Ms. Vy admitted that she had instructed her subordinates to liquidate Mrs. Nguyen Thi B.’s savings books worth VND 3.5 billion to repay a debt to Mr. Vo Thai Nang.
The investigating agency arranged for Ms. Vy to confront Mr. Nang, and the female defendant confirmed that she had borrowed money from Mr. Nang and transferred VND 3.5 billion to the account of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuong (Mr. Nang’s wife) to repay the debt. Currently, Ms. Vy still owes Mr. Nang more than VND 5 billion.
