Following the establishment of case 1025H for surveillance, on 13/3, detectives from the Dong Nai Police Department for Corruption, Economic, Smuggling, and Environmental Crimes apprehended Thuong and eight other individuals. During searches of their residences and workplaces, police seized numerous documents and exhibits.

According to police, the ring operated through four main groups, employing sophisticated methods over an extended period. The suspects established over 60 "ghost" companies to illegally trade over 10,000 invoices, totaling more than 60 trillion VND.
