According to the developments of the case, in his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors and legal representative of Dong Thap Liquefied Petroleum Gas Joint Stock Company, defendant Khoi took advantage of his position, authority and regulations on salary and bonus payments for the form of operation of the Joint Stock Company. Specifically, defendant Khoi directed subordinates to complete procedures and sign the authorization to pay salary and bonus for himself in violation of regulations, appropriating nearly 4 billion VND from Dong Thap Liquefied Petroleum Gas Joint Stock Company. Defendant Khoi's actions constituted the crime of embezzlement of property.

The investigation results show that the total salary paid to defendant Khoi from January to June 2022 is 3 billion VND. However, according to the seized documents and statements of the people involved, only the salary for January 2022 was paid, from February to June 2022 it was an advance payment. According to regulations, the payment of salary and remuneration to the Chairman of the Board of Directors is paid in advance, so Khoi is not required to embezzle the amount of 2.5 billion VND paid in advance salary from February to June 2022. In January 2022 alone, defendant Khoi's salary was 50 million VND/month, so the total amount of embezzled assets by Khoi from Dong Thap Liquefied Gas Joint Stock Company was determined to be 3.950 billion VND (3.5 billion in bonuses and 500 million VND in salary for January 2022 minus 50 million VND in salary that Khoi received according to regulations).
