On June 25, the Criminal investigation police department of Ho Chi Minh city prosecuted and detained Mrs. Trinh Thi D. 46 years old, residing in Binh Thanh district, Ho Chi Minh city on charges of “fraudulent appropriation of assets”
Phu Quoc detective, according to initial investigations, in 2021, Mrs. D. falsely claimed to be the wife of a senior official involved in the Phu Quoc airport project.
She boasted about having the authority to allocate land in the airport area and promised to sell prime “project land” plots with high investment potential.
Trusting her claims, a victim transferred money to Mrs. D. multiple times — totaling nearly VND 5 billion, approximately USD 196,000 — to buy the land.
However, after receiving the money, Mrs. D. failed to deliver the land or refund the payment as promised. The victim later reported the incident to the police.
Investigations revealed that Mrs. D. had no authority or connection to the Phu Quoc airport project. All information she provided was fabricated in order to defraud the victim.
The case is currently under further investigation and expansion.
