According to initial investigations, in August 2022, Tran Thanh Thuy (47 years old, residing in Thanh Phu commune, Cau Ke district) was arrested and detained by the Criminal Investigation Agency of the district police for the act of running a prostitution ring. Knowing that Binh had an acquaintance working in the People's Procuracy, Mr. NMT (47 years old, Thuy's husband) asked for help so that Thuy would receive a lighter sentence.

Later, Binh asked Mr. T. for 100 million VND to have Binh, an acquaintance, consider sentencing him to one year in prison. Believing Binh, Mr. T. gave him 100 million VND and gave Binh an additional 1 million VND. After receiving the money, Binh embezzled it, took it to Cambodia to gamble, and lost it all.

In May 2023, Thuy was sentenced to 5 years in prison by the People's Court of Cau Ke District. Realizing he had been deceived, on January 12, 2024, Mr. T. went to the Cau Ke District Police to report Binh's fraudulent activities.

Immediately afterwards, the Cau Ke District Police promptly investigated, verified the information, and summoned Binh to the station for questioning. There, Binh admitted to the crime.

The "case fixing" scam is currently being investigated and processed by the Cau Ke District Police in accordance with the law.
