Kiến nghị giao Bộ Công an tiếp nhận hồ sơ vụ việc có dấu hiệu hình sự tại dự án nhà máy xi măng Quang Sơn- Ảnh 1. — Quang Son Cement Plant Project

The Government Inspectorate has just announced the conclusions of a comprehensive inspection of the proposal, implementation, and production and business activities of the Quang Son Cement Plant Project.

This project was invested in and constructed in the former Dong Hy and Vo Nhai districts of Thai Nguyen province; its business results as of December 31, 2021 showed a loss of nearly 1,950 billion VND.

According to the inspection report, the Vietnam Industrial Construction Corporation (Vinaincon) approved adjustments exceeding the total investment amount without proper authority, violating regulations, the Bidding Law, the Construction Law, and the Prime Minister 's directives, potentially causing losses exceeding 1,000 billion VND; it also illegally profited over 46 billion VND from resource exploration and exploitation.

Based on the records, documents, and verification results, the Government Inspectorate believes that the implementation of the project shows signs of violating regulations on bidding causing serious consequences according to Article 222; signs of violating regulations on investment in construction projects causing serious consequences according to Article 224; and the crime of negligence causing serious consequences according to Article 360 of the 2015 Penal Code, as amended and supplemented in 2017, in bidding packages No. 01, 02, and 03.

The Government Inspectorate also forwarded information to the Ministry of Public Security for relevant agencies to verify regarding several consulting and construction contracts in packages 32A, 13, 14, and 19.

Other irregularities totaling nearly 364 billion VND, stemming from Vinaincon's over-adjustment of the total investment without proper authority and without permission to adjust for inflation adjustments as stipulated by law, potentially causing losses, were also recommended for clarification by the Government Inspectorate.

The Inspector General of the Government has recommended that the Prime Minister instruct the Ministry of Public Security to receive the case files and documents transferred from the inspection agency for processing in accordance with the law.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, and several related ministries, along with the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province, are conducting a review of collective and individual responsibilities over various periods in fulfilling assigned duties and responsibilities, providing advice and recommendations, and failing to conduct proper inspections that led to shortcomings and violations.
