The Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency has just prosecuted and detained Mr. Nguyen Van Hau (nicknamed "Hau Phao"), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company (Phuc Son Company) and three officials of this group and Tran Huu Dinh (Director of Nam A Group Investment Joint Stock Company), Nguyen Hong Son (freelance worker) to investigate the crime of Violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences .
According to the Ministry of Public Security, the defendants committed acts of forgery, false declaration, and omission of revenue and related assets from accounting books, causing particularly serious damage to the State.
The group is headquartered in Vinh Tuong district, Vinh Phuc, operating mainly in the fields of real estate and construction. In addition to Vinh Phuc province, the group also invests in projects in other localities, including Khanh Hoa.
In Khanh Hoa, this enterprise has been involved in many controversies related to the Nha Trang urban, commercial, service, and tourism finance center project at Nha Trang Airport.

After many years of being allocated land, Phuc Son Group still cannot complete the items at Nha Trang airport area.
Nha Trang Airport covers an area of 186 hectares, located in the city center. After 1975, in addition to military purposes, this place also served passenger flights to the locality. Since 2004, after Cam Ranh Airport was completed, Nha Trang Airport stopped receiving passengers and became a military base. By 2009, a part of the land here was assigned to the locality for socio-economic development.
To implement BT (build-transfer) projects, Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee used land funds to pay for Nha Trang airport. Phuc Son Company implemented 3 BT projects with an investment of about 3,562 billion VND, including: roads, traffic intersections connecting to Nha Trang airport; Ngoc Hoi traffic intersection; belt road connecting Ngoc Hoi traffic intersection.
In return, the enterprise was assigned a land fund of over 20 hectares at Nha Trang airport to implement the Nha Trang Urban, Service, Financial and Tourism Center project (the land fund value at that time was provisional). All three of these BT projects were not auctioned and were assigned to Phuc Son Group.
This company also committed to put the above projects into operation in 2017, but the above projects are all behind schedule. Ngoc Hoi intersection is basically put into operation. In addition, the investor has not yet received the site for the Northern branch (N4), so it is still waiting for the site to have a construction plan.
Not yet fulfilled the obligation to pay more than 11,000 billion VND to the budget
In addition to the slow progress of the projects, Phuc Son Group is also involved in a scandal related to the collection of more than 11,000 billion VND to the State budget related to the Nha Trang urban center project of commerce, services, finance, and tourism. However, up to now, this enterprise has not fulfilled its financial obligations, and the projects are still unfinished.
Accordingly, in 2022, the Provincial People's Committee sent a document to Phuc Son Group regarding the implementation of financial obligations for the above project with the amount of VND 11,994 billion. This content was based on the conclusion of the Central Inspection Committee and the Government Inspectorate by the Khanh Hoa government. At the same time, the Provincial People's Committee also asked for opinions from the Standing Committee of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee, from which it reported and asked for opinions from the Politburo and the Central Inspection Committee.
However, the representative of this group at that time explained that the above amount of money that the People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province announced to recover did not have a full legal basis to calculate, determine, and ensure the principle of price parity in implementing investment in construction projects in the form of BT.
