According to the Ministry of Public Security, the decisions and procedural orders against the defendants have all been implemented, after being approved by the Supreme People's Procuracy. Among the defendants, Mr. Thanh, Mr. Nghia, Mr. Thang, Mr. Ba and Ms. Minh were temporarily detained; the remaining two defendants were released on bail and prohibited from leaving their place of residence.
The Ministry of Public Security said that this is the result of the initial investigation and verification in the establishment, approval, and organization of bidding for the project "investment in upgrading and purchasing machinery and equipment for research and experimental production of micro-electromechanical products" at the Research and Development Center of Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park.
Through investigation, the Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency has sufficient grounds to determine that there was collusion between the state management agency, the investor, the bidding consultant and the equipment supplier, TST Company, to win the bid. This act seriously violated the provisions of the Bidding Law, causing especially serious damage to state assets.
During the search of the suspects, the police collected many files and documents related to the case.
The Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency is expanding the investigation of the case and applying measures according to legal regulations to recover assets for the state.
