Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai has just sent a letter of commendation to the Hanoi City Police for coordinating with professional units of the Ministry of Public Security to investigate and destroy a criminal ring related to Pho Duc Nam (TikToker Mr Pips, 30 years old, residing in Ba Ria - Vung Tau ).

This is a transnational crime ring, using high technology to defraud and appropriate people's assets through calling for investment on illegal foreign exchange and stock exchanges.

“This is a particularly serious case of fraud and property appropriation, with sophisticated and professional criminal methods, taking place mainly in cyberspace, so it is very difficult to detect and control.

However, with intelligence, creativity, and determination to fight crime to the end, officers and soldiers of the Criminal Police Department, the Technical Department - Hanoi City Police, and Cau Giay District Police have synchronously deployed professional measures to detect, arrest, and coordinate with the People's Procuracy of Cau Giay District to handle the ringleaders and related subjects in the case," the Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee emphasized.
