As Dan Tri reported, 79 illegally built villas are located on a 18.9-hectare plot of land in Duong Bao Hamlet, Duong To Commune, Phu Quoc City. This land was previously a protected forest land, which was reclaimed by the Provincial People's Committee and handed over to the Duong To Commune People's Committee for management.

However, taking advantage of the Covid-19 epidemic, the "landowners" sold to each other by handwritten papers without any documents showing the land ownership. After buying back, the new owners built villas.

Thus, up to now, 23/79 violating houses have been demolished.
