Previously, on 25/6, the Economic Police Department initiated a tax evasion case involving Minh Nhat Duy Company Limited. The company is headquartered in Kien Binh commune, Kien Luong district, which is now Hoa Dien commune.

According to investigation results, from 1/1/2020 to 31/12/2021, the defendants Chau, Tuyet, and An used 67 illegal value-added tax invoices from An Tam Transport Services Company Limited. They declared these as purchased goods, totaling over 180 billion VND. This action aimed to illegally deduct value-added tax, causing a loss of over 18 billion VND to the state budget.

Although Phuong was not a company member, he assisted the other defendants.
