Young couple in trouble with the law for trading "white death"

According to the indictment, through social relationships, Thanh knew that a subject named Trung (residing in Huong Hoa district, Quang Tri ) sold drugs, so he contacted him to buy them to resell for profit. From February 2023, Thanh bought drugs from Trung many times, each time about 4,000 pills and resold them to many people but could not remember the specifics.

On March 13, 2023, Thanh contacted Trung to buy 2 packages of drugs (about 4,000 pills) of the pink type for 40 million VND. At noon on March 14, 2023, Thanh received the drugs from the bus and brought them back to the motel to hide.

At around 11am on March 16, 2023, someone called to order 4 packages of drugs (about 800 pills) of the pink type. Thanh agreed to sell for 15.6 million VND and then arranged to deliver the drugs at a location near Hue station.

After taking 8 packages with nearly 3,300 pills of drugs, Thanh asked his wife Thi to go deliver the drugs. While Thanh and Thi were waiting for the drug buyer at the appointed location, they were caught red-handed by the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department of the Provincial Police.

The police seized 71.4 grams of drugs from Thanh's hand and 227.8 grams of drugs, the same type of Methamphetamine, from Thi's jacket pocket. Searching the suspects' residence, the provincial police continued to seize a package containing 124 red and 2 blue tablets.

In addition, Thanh also confessed that a few days earlier, in Vy Da ward, Hue city, Thanh sold a package of about 2,000 pills of drugs to a person of unknown origin and address for 25 million VND, but had not yet received the money.

At the trial, the two defendants confessed honestly, expressed remorse, and asked for the lightest sentence possible so they could return to their elderly mother and young children. After reviewing the details of the case, the Trial Panel sentenced defendants Tran Viet Thanh to 20 years in prison and Nguyen Thi Anh Thi to 20 years in prison.
