Prosecution of commune leader and 3 subordinates

On January 28, information from the Thai Binh Provincial Police indicated that they had initiated a criminal case, indicted the suspect, and conducted searches of the residence and workplace of Tran Huu Son (61 years old, residing in Hong An commune, Hung Ha district; Secretary of the Party Committee of Hong An commune, Hung Ha district) for the crime of "negligence causing serious consequences".

The court has initiated criminal proceedings and imposed a travel ban on Tran Thi Yen (65 years old) and Tran Trung Cap (70 years old, both residing in Hong An commune and former officials of the Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Department of Hong An commune) for the crime of "forging seals and documents of agencies and organizations"; and Vu Thi Trang (34 years old, originally from Tay Do commune, Hung Ha district, Thai Binh province; currently residing in Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi ) for the crime of "embezzlement of property".

The suspect Tran Huu Son

At the time of her indictment, Trang was working as an office employee at a bank branch in Hanoi.

According to the case file, from 2014 to 2017, Mr. Tran Huu Son, who was then the Chairman of the People's Committee of Hong An commune and the Head of the Team for paying allowances to people with meritorious services in Hong An commune, neglected his duties due to lax management, failing to inspect and supervise the preparation of allowance files for people with meritorious services, and not complying with the regulations of the Thai Binh Provincial People's Committee on managing funds for implementing preferential policies for people with meritorious services to the revolution.

Taking advantage of Mr. Son's lax management, Tran Thi Yen and Tran Trung Cap created fictitious files, forged documents, and fake certificates to embezzle state budget funds.

The files created by Yen and Cap included: 1 file for educational allowance payments to relatives of meritorious individuals; 19 files for funeral allowance payments to resistance fighters awarded resistance medals; 12 files for funeral allowance payments and one-time allowances; and 2 files for survivor's benefits payments to relatives of meritorious individuals. The total amount of damage to the state budget caused by Mr. Son's irresponsibility was determined to be over 635 million VND.

Furthermore, the records also indicate that, from 2010 to the end of December 2016, in her role as a Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs officer and a member of the team responsible for paying allowances to war invalids in Hong An commune, Yen colluded with, agreed upon, and instructed Tran Trung Cap and Vu Thi Trang (who were then contract officers in charge of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs in Hong An commune) to create 36 fraudulent allowance files for war invalids to embezzle state budget funds, causing losses of nearly 841 million VND and misappropriating nearly 712 million VND of state budget funds intended for war invalids.

The case is still being handled by the investigating agency.
