On 11/12, Hanoi city police announced that the investigative police agency is clarifying the act of property fraud by Pham Thi Huyen Chang, 32, deputy director of IEC International Cooperation and Work Limited Company, and Hoang Van Chuong, 39, director of LC Human Resources and Trade Limited Company.

The two individuals were indicted by the former Ha Dong district police one year ago.

Initial findings determined that from 2019 to 12/2024, there were no overseas employment orders or programs. Vinh Thinh company, IEC company, and LC company also lacked the function to send people abroad for work. However, Chang and Chuong still informed and introduced to workers that there were overseas employment orders to receive applications and collect money.

After receiving the money, the two did not process the paperwork for the workers as promised. Instead, they used the funds for company expenses such as employee salaries, rent payments, and personal spending.

Police determined that, through these schemes, Chang and Chuong embezzled about 13 billion VND from 200 victims. Police request anyone who signed contracts or paid money to these two defendants to come to Hanoi city police to report and provide information.
