Today, January 4, Ho Chi Minh City Police announced that they have just issued a decision to prosecute and arrest 11 people who are directors, managers, and accountants of enterprises in many provinces and cities for the crimes of "illegal purchase and sale of invoices" and "tax evasion". The above decisions and orders have been approved by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy.

These arrests are a new development in the investigation process of the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department expanding the case related to the illegal invoice trading ring occurring in Ho Chi Minh City and provinces and cities across the country led by Hoang Dang Ngoc My Trang (52 years old).

In mid-2024, the case was brought to trial. As the ringleader, Hoang Dang Ngoc My Trang was sentenced to 5 years in prison by the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court for "illegally printing, issuing, and trading invoices". Dozens of other defendants were also sentenced to different sentences for the above crimes and "tax evasion".

Regarding the above-mentioned invoice trading and tax evasion ring, up to now, the Ho Chi Minh City prosecution agency has prosecuted, arrested and brought to trial a total of 66 people. The Ho Chi Minh City Police Department's special project has recovered about 50 billion VND, the amount of money the subjects illegally profited from criminal activities and paid to compensate for tax evasion.

The investigation team determined that from April 2017 to March 2023, My Trang and her accomplices established and used 41 "ghost" companies to illegally sell 35,273 value-added invoices to 6,476 different businesses and units in 52 provinces and cities across the country.

The police clarified that the number of invoices for goods purchased and sold before tax was 4,000 billion VND, the value added tax was nearly 400 billion VND, the total value was 4,400 billion VND; the amount of illegal profit was over 60 billion VND.

Currently, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department's investigation team continues to expand the investigation and strictly handle individuals and businesses that illegally use invoices from companies established by Hoang Dang Ngoc My Trang.
