Claiming to be the president of a restaurant chain, he swindled and appropriated more than 15 billion VND.

On April 3 and 4, Nghe An Provincial People's Court opened a criminal trial to try defendants Tran Thi Hong Giang (born 1981) and Nguyen Thi Tuyet (born 1988, both residing in Quynh Luu district) for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".

Unemployed and addicted to playing online games that led to losses, Giang came up with the idea of appropriating other people's money. Giang "bragged" that he was the Chairman of the Board of Directors of a restaurant chain to persuade them to contribute shares to share in high profits.

In addition, Giang also provided false information such as having a house to sell, applying for a job, and giving "spiritual" content to perform a ritual to dispel bad luck. With the above tricks, from June 2020 to January 2022, Tran Thi Hong Giang committed 6 acts of fraud against 8 victims with a total amount of more than 15 billion VND.

Two defendants at trial.

In this case, Nguyen Thi Tuyet participated as an accomplice. Around July 2021, Tuyet learned that Giang had defrauded the victim, but because she was grateful to Giang for taking care of her, Tuyet helped Giang commit 2 acts of fraud, appropriating more than 4.2 billion VND.

Defendant Giang stated that he had spent all the money he had embezzled on online games and was currently unable to pay back. Despite helping Giang, defendant Tuyet was only given a couple of coins for pocket money, with a total profit of 8 million VND.

After considering the role of each defendant in the case, the People's Court sentenced Tran Thi Hong Giang to life in prison and Nguyen Thi Tuyet to 12 years in prison for the crime of "Fraudulent appropriation of property".
