Deputy Director of the Registration Center confessed and denounced the former Director of the Registration Department.

50-05V Vehicle Inspection Center is under the Vietnam Register, headquartered at 1143/3B, National Highway 1A, Quarter 3, An Phu Dong Ward, District 12, Ho Chi Minh City (An Phu Dong facility) and 1 branch at 1A Hong Ha, Ward 2, Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City.

The Board of Directors includes: Nguyen Dinh Quan, Director (from 2013 - May 2022); Tran Anh Tu, Deputy Director in charge of the center; Pham Ngoc Ha, Deputy Director in charge of An Phu Dong Facility; Khuat Duy Thinh, Deputy Director in charge of Hong Ha Branch.

According to the investigation conclusion, in order to have money to give to the leaders of the Department of Vehicle Inspection so as not to cause difficulties in work and increase income for vehicle inspectors and employees, Nguyen Dinh Quan proposed a policy for vehicle inspectors to accept bribes.

In order to implement the policy, the Board of Directors of the 50-05V Vehicle Inspection Center and the inspectors agreed to receive money from vehicle owners, businesses, individuals and brokers to ignore the vehicle's unqualified violations or receive money and then legalize the documents to pass the inspection for many vehicles.

The bribery of the vehicle inspection officer took place from 2014 to December 2022. The bribe amount was nearly 40 billion VND.

Regarding the violations that occurred at the 50-05V Vehicle Inspection Center, defendant Tran Anh Tu was accused of following the policy of Mr. Dang Viet Ha (then Director of the Vietnam Register) and Nguyen Dinh Quan, allowing vehicle inspectors to accept bribes, so he must bear joint responsibility for the bribe money received by the center.

Specifically, Tu directed Pham Ngoc Ha, Khuat Duy Thinh and other inspectors to continue receiving bribes, collect them, and divide the money received with Dang Viet Ha.

Tu received a total of 130 million VND from the other defendants. The defendant used it for personal expenses, and during the investigation, he paid 135 million VND to recover the money.

In addition, the defendant Tu divided the money with Dang Viet Ha at Ha's office on the days he was summoned to the Vietnam Registry for a meeting, totaling 180 million VND.

The defendant Tu was proposed to be prosecuted for the crime of Receiving bribes as prescribed in Clause 4, Article 354 of the Penal Code. Currently, the defendant is being subject to preventive measures of being prohibited from leaving his place of residence.

According to the investigation conclusion, the defendant Tran Anh Tu submitted a confession of his crime, filed a complaint against Dang Viet Ha for accepting bribes, voluntarily remedied the consequences, confessed honestly, and repented.

The Ho Chi Minh City Police Department has completed the investigation and proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Procuracy prosecute 254 defendants related to the violations that occurred at the Vietnam Register, 11 registration centers in Ho Chi Minh City, and 3 registration centers in Long An, Ben Tre, and Soc Trang.
