Despite having terminated cooperation with the land user, Nguyen Duc Trung still provided false information for customers to sign sales contracts in order to appropriate more than 1.4 billion VND.
The Investigation Police Agency read the warrant for the temporary detention of Nguyen Duc Trung.
On the afternoon of February 24, information from the Investigation Police Agency, Binh Duong Provincial Police said that the unit had initiated a criminal case, prosecuted the accused and temporarily detained Nguyen Duc Trung (40 years old, from Thanh Hoa) to investigate and clarify the crime of fraud and property appropriation.
Nguyen Duc Trung is Director of Bao An Group Real Estate Joint Stock Company (Dinh Hoa Ward, Thu Dau Mot City, Binh Duong).
According to the investigation agency's documents, Nguyen Duc Trung was authorized by the landowner and agreed to sell the land to Mr. B. By March 15, 2022, Nguyen Duc Trung had terminated the cooperation with the land user. The termination of cooperation was agreed upon by both parties, without dispute.

Regarding the act of fraudulently selling land and appropriating property in Binh Duong, previously, in August 2022, the Investigation Police Agency of Binh Duong Province also executed the decision to prosecute and temporarily detain Nguyen Huu Thai, General Director of Thang Long Real Estate Trading and Services Joint Stock Company.
According to the investigation agency, Thai was accused by the people of fraud and property appropriation with a total amount of more than 2.2 billion VND. Thai's fraud was carried out through capital contribution to invest in real estate business and transfer of real estate in Lai Uyen town (Bau Bang district, Binh Duong province).
Specifically, Thai provided false information about the legality of the properties to trick victims into investing. After receiving the money, Thai had no land to deliver according to the contract but did not return the money to the buyers and avoided the victims.
Since 2021, Binh Duong Provincial Police have prosecuted dozens of cases, arrested many leaders of real estate companies in the area for fraudulent appropriation of property by contributing capital to invest in projects.
