According to the investigation conclusion, after former leaders of Vinh Phuc province created favorable conditions to legalize procedures for Thang Long Company of Nguyen Van Hau (Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of Phuc Son Group) to be the investor, continue to implement the project against regulations, and be given favorable conditions in assigning, implementing the project and valuing land lower than the market price, Hau directly or directed employees to give money to former Vinh Phuc Secretary Hoang Thuy Lan.

Around the beginning of June 2017, Hau “Phao” arranged to meet Ms. Lan at the office of the former Vinh Phuc Secretary at the headquarters of the Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee. Here, Ms. Lan suggested that Hau pay her money to facilitate the implementation of the Wholesale Market project (scale of 188 hectares of land).

At that time, Hau "Phao" understood that to carry out this project, he had to pay the leaders 300-500 million VND/ha. Knowing that he had to give Ms. Lan a lot of money, Nguyen Van Hau instructed his sister Nguyen Thi Hang (at that time, Deputy General Director in charge of finance) to prepare 20 billion VND.

Hau was driven by driver Ta Minh Chinh to the Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee Headquarters. At the request of Ms. Hoang Thuy Lan, Hau instructed Chinh to call Do Ngoc Quang (then Deputy Chief of Office of Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee) to meet outside the Provincial Party Committee Headquarters to give money to Mr. Quang to transfer to Ms. Lan.

The second time, on the morning of March 19, 2021, Ms. Lan called Hau to her home and said: "I have something to do, prepare 1 million USD for me immediately" and raised 1 index finger of her right hand.

Understanding the former secretary's intention, Hau instructed his sister to prepare 1 million USD immediately. Early that afternoon, Ms. Hang gave Hau's driver 1 million USD. Hau "Phao" called Ms. Lan on Viber and said: "Come home", then asked Chinh to take Hau to Ms. Lan's house.

Upon arrival, Chinh parked his car and waited outside the door, while Hau brought the money into the house and gave it to Ms. Lan. Nguyen Van Hau gave this money at Ms. Lan's request because the defendant was implementing the Wholesale Market project and was hoping that Ms. Lan would direct and influence the relevant departments and branches to create favorable conditions for Hau to carry out the project.

By early 2022, Hau "Phao" wants to buy back the Housing project in Binh Duong commune, Vinh Tuong district, 6 hectares of adjacent land from Tuan Dat Company (directed by Mr. Nguyen Dinh Tuan) and proposes to expand by 50 hectares to invest in real estate projects.

At that time, to speed up the licensing procedure, Hau prepared 10 billion VND himself and asked Ta Minh Chinh to transfer it to the car, taking Hau to the Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee Headquarters to meet Ms. Lan. Hau discussed with the former Vinh Phuc Party Secretary: "Let me replace Mr. Tuan, the Tuan Dat Housing project because he doesn't want to do it anymore." At that time, Ms. Lan agreed.

Hau told Mrs. Lan: "I have a little gift for you, give it to Mr. Quang." Mrs. Lan nodded in agreement. Then, Hau instructed Chinh to give the money to Do Ngoc Quang, Deputy Chief of the Provincial Party Committee Office, to transfer to former Vinh Phuc Party Secretary Hoang Thuy Lan.

According to the investigation conclusion, the defendant Nguyen Van Hau (aka Hau "Phao") gave bribes totaling more than 132 billion VND to many people.

Among the defendants proposed for prosecution along with Nguyen Van Hau (Chairman of the Board of Directors, General Director of Phuc Son Group) are Mr. and Mrs. Hoang Thi Thuy Lan (former Secretary of Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee); Le Duy Thanh (former Chairman of Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee); Nguyen Van Khuoc (former Vice Chairman of Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee); Cao Khoa (former Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee); Pham Van Vong (former Secretary of Vinh Phuc Provincial Party Committee); Phung Quang Hung (former Chairman of Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee); Ha Hoa Binh (former Vice Chairman of Vinh Phuc Provincial People's Committee); Ngo Duc Vuong (former Secretary of Phu Tho Provincial Party Committee); Nguyen Doan Khanh (former Chairman of Phu Tho Provincial People's Committee).
