Lam Dong province arrests suspect for fraud and embezzlement.

The Lam Dong Provincial Police Department requests that organizations and individuals who have suffered losses related to the actions of Nguyen Huu Phu promptly report to the Office of the Provincial Police Investigation Agency for processing and resolution in accordance with the law.

On February 25th, the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Lam Dong Provincial Police announced that it had executed the Decision to initiate a criminal case, the Decision to prosecute the suspect, and the Order for temporary detention against Nguyen Huu Phu (born in 1990, residing in Hac Thanh ward, Thanh Hoa province) to investigate the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

The police are executing the decision to temporarily detain Nguyen Huu Phu.

Previously, the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Lam Dong Provincial Police received a complaint from citizens regarding a large-scale fraud involving Nguyen Huu Phu.

Immediately after receiving the report, the Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Lam Dong Provincial Police launched an investigation and verification. The police summoned Nguyen Huu Phu to the headquarters for questioning. After three days of intensive investigation, the agency clarified the criminal act with sophisticated methods.

Accordingly, Nguyen Huu Phu previously worked atSHB Finance Company, so he was familiar with the procedures and processes for granting credit loans through the company's software system. After leaving his job, Phu posted information on social media offering online credit loan assistance. When people trusted him and transferred money to pay interest or settle their loans, Phu did not fulfill his obligations to the credit company but instead misappropriated the funds for personal use.

At the same time, Phu contacted customers who had previously borrowed money from SHB Finance, providing information about the insurance premium refund program. Once trusted, Phu directly manipulated the customers' phones, using their personal information to create new bank accounts and process loan applications. After the loans were disbursed, Phu transferred the money to his own account, only returning a small portion to the customers and claiming it was insurance premium refunds.

Initial investigations indicate that Nguyen Huu Phu embezzled over 800 million VND. The Office of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Lam Dong Provincial Police is continuing to expand the investigation into the case.
