The prosecuted subjects include: Nguyen Thi Dung (born in 1956, residing in Hai Ba Trung district, Hanoi); Nguyen Minh Diep (born in 1972, residing in Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi); Nguyen Minh Hang (born in 1985) and Nguyen Phuong Thao (born in 1981), both residing in Hoang Mai district, Hanoi.
Accordingly, through professional work, Hung Yen Provincial Police discovered that Nguyen Thi Dung had purchased more than 20 "ghost" enterprises from business owners who wanted to dissolve them to register fake documents to issue value-added invoices and issue fake invoices to sell to people who wanted to make illegal profits.
Since the end of 2020, this group of "ghost" enterprises has issued more than 5,500 invoices with a total amount including VAT of about 2,200 billion VND, creating conditions for other enterprises to buy and use illegal invoices, causing the State to lose hundreds of billions of VND in tax revenue.
