According to the investigation of the Investigation Police Agency of Chau Phu District Police, during his time as Chairman of Binh Thuy Commune People's Committee, Mr. Ta and the judicial and civil status officers of Binh Thuy Commune signed more than 1,600 fake vehicle purchase and sale contracts to assist brokers in selling stolen vehicles, even signing on blank paper so they could write whatever they wanted, causing a loss of nearly 90 million VND to the budget.

“According to the correct procedures, the two parties buying and selling the vehicle must go to the commune People’s Committee to sign the contract and certify it. However, Mr. Ta and the judicial and civil status officer of Binh Thuy commune signed blank papers for the broker to smuggle out. After that, many vehicles related to stolen and robbed vehicles were investigated by the police and when they returned to the locality, this case was discovered,” said Mr. T., an officer in Binh Thuy commune.

The case is currently being investigated by the Investigation Police Agency, Chau Phu District Police to be handled according to the law.
