The Ministry of Finance has just issued an official dispatch requesting the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to strengthen the management of the activities of lottery companies and lottery supervisory councils.

The document was sent after Department 2 - Supreme People's Procuracy sent a dispatch to the Ministry of Finance requesting the application of measures to prevent crimes and violations of the law related to the organization of lottery drawing and lottery business activities of lottery companies.

Accordingly, the Supreme People's Procuracy provided information on two different cases in which subjects broke into lottery companies, manipulated the drawing balls, and falsified the drawing results so that the subjects could operate lottery and gambling activities.

“The reason for the above-mentioned violations of the law is that the monitoring and periodic inspection of the lottery drawing equipment by the lottery supervision council and lottery companies is not strict and in accordance with regulations. Management and protection work is not guaranteed, leading to subjects taking advantage of loopholes to commit violations, breaking into the drawing rooms to change the weight of the balls.

Coordination with relevant agencies when detecting signs of law violations is still not tight; handling and preventing violations is not timely," the document of the Supreme People's Procuracy stated.

According to the Ministry of Finance, Decree No. 30/2007 of the Government and Circular No. 75/2013 of the Ministry of Finance have fully and specifically regulated the conditions of the ball, the ball management process, the lottery drawing organization process, and the supervision of the lottery supervision council on lottery business activities.

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance recommends that the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities strengthen management of lottery company activities and lottery supervisory council activities to promptly detect, prevent and correct loopholes at lottery companies.

Along with that, direct lottery companies to strengthen inspection and supervision work, and take protection measures in many forms to ensure the safety of assets and the transparency of lottery drawing.

"When detecting signs of violations in the organization of lottery draws, promptly coordinate with functional units to clarify the cause of the violation and handle it according to the provisions of law," the Ministry of Finance emphasized.
