According to the investigation agency, in 2021, Ms. Truong My Lan bought Lavifoood Joint Stock Company from Mr. Le Thanh and assigned Truong Hue Van to manage and operate through Nguyen Phi Long (General Director of Lavifoood Joint Stock Company).

In addition, Ms. Lan agreed and directed Van to establish "ghost" companies to obtain a business plan to buy and sell agricultural products with Lavifoood Joint Stock Company in order to create fake loan documents, create loans, and withdraw money from SCB for the purposes of Ms. Lan and Van.

In addition, during the operation of Saigon Galleria Joint Stock Company and Eurasia Concept Company, Van also directed subordinates to coordinate with SCB to prepare loan applications at SCB Bank to get money to pay for the activities of these companies, but when it was necessary to repay the debt, he did not use money from business activities but took money from loans of other companies and individuals created falsely at SCB Bank to repay SCB's debt.

Since 2020, Van has directed his subordinates to establish and use 52 "ghost" companies and 4 real companies (50 loans), creating 155 fake loans to withdraw money from SCB Bank. As of October 17, 2022, these 155 loans still have an outstanding debt of more than VND 2,834 billion (principal debt of more than VND 2,809 billion, interest of more than VND 25 billion).
