Mr Tips and Sisters of the Basket are typical cases.

The report emphasizes the complexity of criminal groups that take advantage of cyberspace to commit fraud and appropriate assets, with collusion between subjects inside and outside the state. A typical case is the Tiktoker case of "Mr Pips" - Pho Duc Nam, an influencer on social networks. Nam and 25 other defendants were prosecuted for fraud, failure to report crimes, and money laundering with a total of more than 5,000 billion VND.

Along with that are crimes related to waste in investment and construction; crimes in finance, banking, securities, corporate bonds, taxes... The case of producing fake food products and deceiving customers that occurred at Asia Life Joint Stock Company and Chi Em Rot Group Joint Stock Company (related to Quang Linh Vlog and Hang "no mu") is one of the typical examples cited by the Supreme People's Procuracy.

Regarding crimes against social order, the report said that 14,414 cases were prosecuted (down 8%). There were many cases of brutal violations of life and health, crimes of human trafficking and trafficking of newborns on cyberspace with complicated developments, organized and transnational activities; many cases of violations of fire prevention and fighting caused particularly serious consequences.

Notably, 476 corruption and position cases (an increase of 1.7%) were prosecuted. Many cases were large-scale, extremely serious, involving ministries, branches, and localities; there was even close, sophisticated collusion between state officials and private companies and enterprises.

Regarding crimes against judicial activities, 31 cases were prosecuted (down 13.8%), mainly related to acts of bribery, abuse of position and power to appropriate property, embezzlement of property...
