Business owner applying to build high-speed railway accused of borrowing 30 million and then fleeing

The Business and Integration Magazine (under the Vietnam Association of Small and Medium Enterprises) has just sent a document to Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh , Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh and Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang regarding a number of issues related to Discovery Group Joint Stock Company - the enterprise proposing to invest in the North-South high-speed railway project.

The magazine said that Discovery owed the magazine a debt and had not paid for a long time. The unit had filed a petition to open bankruptcy proceedings, but on August 25, the People's Court of Region 2 ( Hanoi ) announced "negotiating the withdrawal of the bankruptcy petition". Due to this legal dispute, the magazine sent someone to verify information about Discovery Group and Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director Nguyen Nam Thieu.

For many years, the company has generated almost no revenue, which means no tax obligations. “Individual Nguyen Nam Thieu borrowed from each person from 30 million VND, 50 million VND... but did not pay and is avoiding debt repayment obligations to many organizations and individuals,” the content stated.
