Female land broker arrested for scamming people by promising to expedite land title registration procedures.

On June 17th, the Son Tra District Police ( Da Nang City) announced that they had served the decisions to initiate criminal proceedings and indict a female land broker in connection with a fraud case involving the "expedition" of processing land ownership certificates.

The Investigation Police Department of Son Tra District also executed an order to temporarily detain female suspect Mai Le Huyen (36 years old, residing in Son Tra District) on charges of fraud and appropriation of property.

According to the investigation, in 2019, Ms. NTB (47 years old, residing in Nai Hien Dong Ward, Son Tra District) purchased a 120 ^m² plot of rice paddy land in Hoa Khanh Ward, Lien Chieu District. Ms. B. contacted Huyen's younger brother to change the land use purpose of this plot to residential land and asked him to help obtain the land title deed.

Mai Le Huyen has been charged and detained.

Huyen's younger brother quoted a price of 150 million VND to "facilitate" the land registration process. In October 2019, Huyen's brother received the land documents and 70 million VND, promising to receive an additional 80 million VND upon handover of the land title deed.

Huyen's younger brother testified that he gave Huyen 70 million VND, but Huyen claimed to have only received 50 million VND. Between 2020 and 2021, Huyen directly contacted Ms. B., collecting a total of 125 million VND in four installments under the pretext of needing funds for surveying, taxes, and local confirmations… but in reality, she did not process the land documents and procedures to obtain the land title as promised.

Constantly being asked for documents by Ms. B, Huyen forged result receipts, commitment letters, etc., to buy time. Only when Ms. B reported it to the police was the forgery discovered.

Besides Ms. B., the police also determined that in 2020, Huyen defrauded Mr. NVL (45 years old, residing in Tho Quang Ward, Son Tra District) by promising to help him obtain a land title deed for a plot of land in Tho Quang Ward, thereby appropriating 154 million VND.

After a long wait, Mr. L. demanded that Huyen return the entire amount, but Huyen repeatedly made promises. On November 21, 2022, Huyen went to the Agribank branch in Hoa Vang district, obtained a payment authorization form, wrote down information indicating the transfer of 130 million VND to Mr. L., took a photo, and sent it to Mr. L., but in reality, Huyen did not transfer the money.

Huyen confessed that she had spent all the money she obtained through fraud and was no longer able to repay it.

Besides Huyen, the Son Tra District Police also received complaints from victims regarding Huyen's younger brother's involvement and assistance in the scams. The unit is currently expanding its investigation to clarify his role.
