On 30/11, the Hanoi Police Investigation Agency announced that 14 individuals had been charged with public disorder. Among them, 8 were placed under travel restrictions, while six — Luong Hong Huyen, Vi Van Tiep, Nguyen Quoc Phuong, Nguyen Van Chung, Phan Vu, and Tran Huu Huy — were detained.

This case stems from a dispute between the developer and the building's management board regarding the right to operate and manage car parking spaces in the basement of the CT2C building, located in the Nghia Do new urban area.

Authorities allege that around 2 PM on 24/6, a group of the developer's staff attempted to move three cars into the basement. They were met with strong obstruction from Luong Hong Huyen, head of the management board, and Vi Van Tiep, head of building management.

Mr. Huyen is accused of continuously uttering provocative and abusive language, and using a golf club as a weapon to threaten the developer's staff.

Police stated that the verbal exchange escalated into a physical altercation, disrupting public order and security.

Authorities noted that Hanoi has recently seen many disputes between developers, management boards, and management committees in apartment buildings, leading to public disorder. This particular case serves as a profound cautionary tale for organizations and individuals navigating ownership disputes in apartment buildings.

The CT2C apartment building was developed by Hanoi Investment and Construction Joint Stock Company No. 1 (HICC1). It features 25 above-ground floors and one basement level. Before administrative boundary adjustments, the building was located in Xuan Tao ward, Bac Tu Liem district.
