On March 23, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Investigation Agency informed that it had prosecuted and issued an arrest warrant for Ho Viet Tan (born in 1963, residing in Chau Thanh district, Tien Giang province) and Bui Huynh Ba Phuoc (born in 1984, residing in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province), both customs officers of Phu My Port Customs Branch, Ba Ria - Vung Tau Provincial Customs Department, for the crime of "Receiving bribes".

According to the Investigation Police Agency, the prosecution of Tan and Phuoc is the result of the investigation and expansion of the case of "smuggling" of FO and DO oil by Le Tan Hoa (born in 1976, residing in Phu My ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City) and his accomplices.
Specifically, this group used the trick of disguising itself as the legal entity of Saigon Transco Petroleum Transport Company Limited to carry out contracts to transport FO and DO oil (temporarily imported and re-exported) from Nha Be Petroleum Depot to international ships (anchored in the Dong Nai River area, Phu My - Vung Tau port, Lotus port...) to connect with captains/chief engineers to buy back a portion of FO and DO oil in the shipment transported to foreign ships.
Next, this group hid them in secret compartments designed on the company's salan, then transported them for consumption in the domestic market without completing customs declaration procedures as prescribed.
At the investigation agency, Tan and Phuoc confessed to receiving money from Le Tan Hoa and Saigon Transco employees to not fully implement the Customs supervision process as prescribed; creating conditions for Le Tan Hoa and his accomplices to buy and sell FO and DO oil from international ships without declaring to customs.
Regarding the above case, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department has prosecuted a total of 8 defendants to continue investigating and clarifying the acts of smuggling, giving and receiving bribes, and the positions and roles of the subjects in the case.
At the same time, the Investigation Police Agency is continuing to investigate and clarify other related signs of violations and negative acts to strictly and thoroughly handle them in accordance with the provisions of law.
