The Da Nang Police on Thursday gave a temporary detention to Do Le Vu, 32, who resides in Hai Chau District’s Hoa Thuan Dong Ward on counts of ‘misappropriation of property’ as stipulated in the national 2015 Penal Code.

According to the police-conducted investigations, Vu told lies that he had a good relationship with some officials from local government agencies. Therefore, the fraudster incited victims to give him money in exchange for helping them get stable jobs at local government agencies.

Since 2014 until his arrest, Vu successfully swindled about 4 billion VND in a total of about 10 fraudulent cases for personal spending.

During interrogations, Vu admitted his guilt, and further investigation into this case is ongoing.
