Authorities arrest lottery scheme organizer for defrauding over 17.5 billion VND.

After serving the indictment decision, the Criminal Investigation Department of Phan Thiet City Police brought the suspect Ngo Thi Loan Chi to her shop in Phu Thuy Market, Phan Thiet City (which is also Chi's house) to execute the search warrant. There, the Criminal Investigation Department of Phan Thiet City Police executed the arrest warrant and detained Ngo Thi Loan Chi for 4 months for investigation into the crime of fraud and appropriation of property.

The Investigation Police Department of Phan Thiet City Police read out the indictment and arrest warrant for suspect Chi.

Previously, according to initial information from the Binh Thuan Provincial Police, Ms. Ngo Thi Loan Chi was the head of a large informal lending group in the area with many participants. In addition, Ms. Chi also owned a packaging and spice shop located in the Phu Thuy market area, Phu Thuy Ward, Phan Thiet City.

The Phan Thiet City Police carried out the order to arrest and detain the suspect.

However, since the end of October, Ms. Chi's savings scheme collapsed, and she has not been present at the above address since then; her whereabouts and activities are unknown.

Many people flocked to Ms. Chi's shop to pressure her into returning their money, causing a disturbance in the area. To maintain order, the police arrived, dispersed the crowd, and instructed them on how to file a report.

To date, the police have received complaints from 46 people alleging that Ms. Chi absconded with over 17.5 billion VND belonging to participants in a rotating savings scheme. Based on these complaints, the Phan Thiet City Police have launched an investigation into the matter.
