In the case of FLC Group sending a document requesting Quang Ngai province to refund more than 80.5 billion VND spent on implementing 6 projects, Quang Ngai is reviewing related documents and vouchers. If there is sufficient basis, it will refund.

Quang Ngai is reviewing documents claiming 80.5 billion from FLC.

Accordingly, Mr. Tran Hoang Tuan - Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee - said that after receiving the document from FLC Group, Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee assigned the Management Board of Dung Quat Economic Zone and the province's industrial parks to review related documents and certificates.

"After reviewing, if the conditions and legal basis are met, Quang Ngai province will refund the investor. But the amount paid must have specific documents, in accordance with the law," said Mr. Tuan.

A representative of the Management Board of Dung Quat Economic Zone and industrial parks in Quang Ngai province said that last March, FLC Group sent a document requesting reimbursement of the costs of implementing 6 projects that the enterprise submitted documents to voluntarily terminate.

To have sufficient basis and related documents, the Management Board of Dung Quat Economic Zone and Quang Ngai Province's industrial parks requested FLC Group to submit all documents and certificates proving the spending of more than VND80.5 billion on the above 6 projects. Up to now, FLC has basically submitted all of them.

Currently, the Management Board of Dung Quat Economic Zone and Quang Ngai Province's industrial parks is urgently reviewing all of the above documents. From there, a specific report will be sent to the Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee to have a direction to handle FLC's request to refund the above amount.

Regarding the FLC Group's request for Quang Ngai province to consider a plan to support, facilitate, or give priority to FLC Group and its designated partners to continue implementing the project, Mr. Tran Hoang Tuan, Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee, affirmed that "there is no such mechanism".

If FLC Group wants to continue implementing the project, it must comply with the Investment Law and must bid to select an investor.
