Having a previous conviction for possessing firecrackers, Nguyen Tung Lam in Thanh Mien (Hai Duong) continued to violate the law by trading in firecrackers and was sentenced to 12 months in prison.
On the morning of January 24, Gia Loc District People's Court held a first-instance trial and sentenced defendant Nguyen Tung Lam, born in 1998, residing in Le Hong Commune (Thanh Mien) to 12 months in prison for trading in prohibited goods.
According to the indictment, at 12:15 p.m. on November 27, 2024, at the intersection between National Highway 38B and the North-South axis road in Bai Thuong village, Toan Thang commune (Gia Loc), Lam was transporting 5.232 kg of firecrackers to sell to a subject with the Facebook account "Duc Van Do" when he was discovered by the police and the evidence was seized.
Lam confessed that he needed money to spend so he bought 5,232 kg of firecrackers from Pham Thanh Cong, born in 1980 in Cao Xa quarter, Lam Son ward, Hung Yen city, Hung Yen province to sell for profit.
Lam has a previous conviction for illegal possession of fireworks.
As for Pham Thanh Cong, because he has never been convicted or administratively punished for this act, there are not enough elements to constitute a crime. Gia Loc District Police have decided to administratively punish Pham Thanh Cong.
