Lieutenant General To An Xo: Deputy General Director of Phuc Son Group just finished 4th grade

At a press conference on the evening of March 2, Lieutenant General To An Xo - spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security, provided more information about the case related to Phuc Son Group, which was prosecuted at the end of February.

Lieutenant General To An Xo said that Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company has been operating since 2004, with a moderate scale, operating at the district level, in the construction and installation sector. Since 2015, this company has grown very strongly, receiving many projects from North to South. This company has 21 projects, with a total investment of over 40 trillion VND.

The investigation agency initially examined two projects in Vinh Phuc and found that Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company left the books, did not declare finances, evaded taxes, causing a loss to the State budget of over 640 billion VND. This company also owed tens of thousands of billions of VND in taxes...

Many real estate projects are not qualified for sale, not qualified to be put on the market. Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company has sold and collected money, but has not delivered land to investors, causing losses of tens of thousands of billions of VND.

According to Mr. To An Xo, this incident shows that the manager's responsibility is not to control the financial declaration activities of Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company.

“This company is lacking inspection and supervision from specialized agencies. The company does not fully fulfill its tax obligations but is still operating,” said Mr. To An Xo.

The spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security also said that the management agency does not know the actual capacity of the enterprise. For example, the company's capacity and level are "very moderate" but it won contracts worth thousands of billions of dong. Meanwhile, many powerful companies do not receive such large projects.

Citing the fact that the Deputy General Director of Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company only finished 4th grade, Lieutenant General To An Xo noted: "The poor overcoming difficulties to become rich is welcome, but it must not affect the legitimate rights and interests of the people and the State."

A spokesman for the Ministry of Public Security said that the investigation agency is focusing on clarifying and expanding the investigation to handle the right person, the right crime and recover assets.

Previously, on February 26, the Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency issued a decision to prosecute the case of "violating accounting regulations causing serious consequences" occurring at Phuc Son Group Joint Stock Company, Thang Long Real Estate and Trade Investment Joint Stock Company and related units.
