Previously, in relation to the Phuc Son Group case, the Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency issued a decision to prosecute 15 defendants, including: former Secretary of the Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee Hoang Thi Thuy Lan; Chairman of the Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee Le Duy Thanh; Chairman of the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Dang Van Minh and former Chairman of the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Cao Khoa. In addition, defendant Dang Trung Hoanh (Chief of the Mang Thit District Party Committee Office, Vinh Long Province) was prosecuted and temporarily detained for the crime of "Taking advantage of influence over people with positions and powers for personal gain".
At a recent press conference of the Ministry of Public Security, the leader of the Department of Investigation of Economic Crimes, Corruption, and Smuggling (Department C03) said that the case related to Chairman of Phuc Son Group Nguyen Van Hau (also known as Hau "Phao") was prosecuted since February 26. This is a major case that occurred in many localities. Phuc Son Group invested in 21 projects, and so far, the investigation agency has clarified violations related to projects in Vinh Phuc and Quang Ngai provinces. Through the statements of some related defendants, it is shown that Nguyen Van Hau has acted to control, monopolize, and pressure some defendants who were former provincial leaders, even the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee... for personal gain. Nguyen Van Hau relied on his close relationships with people holding positions in the locality to control the local government.
Regarding the act of accepting bribes, the investigation results determined that the two defendants Hoang Thi Thuy Lan and Le Duy Thanh received a relatively large amount of money, billions of dong. In addition, defendant Dang Trung Hoanh (Chief of Office of Mang Thit District Party Committee, Vinh Long Province) received up to 64 billion dong from the Chairman of Phuc Son Group.
