Previously, answering the People's Court, Huu Tin stated that he used drugs out of curiosity.
"The defendant also knew that drugs were harmful to health, but at that time, because he had been drinking alcohol, he heard about drugs so he was curious and used them, unable to control himself," Huu Tin stated.
According to Huu Tin, the defendant took drugs from Phi's room. He looked at the pill and did not know what kind it was, only guessing that it was ecstasy. The defendant Nguyen Hoang Phi said he did not know how to use drugs.
At today’s trial, defendant Phi and defendant Tin expressed remorse for their actions. Not only did they affect themselves, but they also affected their families and colleagues.
According to the indictment, Tran Huu Tin had an acquaintanceship with Nguyen Hoang Phi and let Phi live in the same apartment at Giai Viet apartment building (Ward 5, District 8). Tin and Phi split the rent.
In mid-May 2022, Nguyen Hoang Phi and some friends went to sing karaoke in District 5. There, a man named Endy (unknown background) put out drugs for everyone in the room to use. When he left, Phi found that there were still synthetic drugs and ecstasy left, so he brought them back to his bedroom to sleep. Phi hid the drugs without anyone knowing.
Early morning June 11, 2022, Tran Huu Tin and some friends went out drinking and then returned to his apartment to get high. Phi turned on the music for everyone to listen to and then gave Tin's group money and plastic cards to use for drugs.
At around 9am the same day, District 8 police inspected the apartment where comedian Huu Tin was staying and discovered several people illegally using drugs. The police seized two plastic bags containing 11 ecstasy pills. Test results showed that Huu Tin and two others tested positive for drugs.
On June 17, 2022, District 8 Police issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused, and temporarily detain Huu Tin and DJ Nguyen Hoang Phi for illegal possession of drugs and organizing illegal use of drugs.
