Police in northern Quang Ninh Province have prosecuted 11 people who were involved in the appropriation of a great amount of oil at the state-owned Hon Gai Materials Enterprise. Accordingly, Nguyen Thi Phuong, 47, Vu Van Luon, 48, Bui Duy Hung, 37, Tran Minh Ngoc, 22, Nguyen Hai Linh, 31, Vu Ba Quy, 42, Do Van Quyet, 37, Bui Thanh Tan, 41, Bui Duc Tam, 53, Luu Thi Minh, 48, and Nguyen Xuan Thu, 48, have been charged with embezzlement. Six of them have been put in jail while the others are being let out on bail, police said. The scandal was uncovered when concerned agencies caught Ngoc and Linh, two female employees of the enterprise, colluding with Luong and Hung, two drivers of the Ha Tu Coal Company, to steal thousands of liters of oil from the enterprise and sold it to Quyet on September 5. The enterprise supplies oil to many coal mining camps under the Vietnam Coal and Minerals Group. Provincial police then discovered an 800-meter pipeline built underground from the Oil Depot 15, located in the coal mining site of Ha Tu, to the house owned by Quy in Quarter 4, Ha Phong Ward, Ha Long City. Police discovered many tanks of oil in the house, which was leased by Quyet to store the illegal oil. Yesterday, police summoned six more drivers of Ha Tu Coal Company for questioning. The total volume of oil stolen is very large, amounting to more than hundreds of thousands of liters. The ring had sold the stolen oil to a number of fuel stations in Ha Long City and Cam Pha Town. Police are trying to identify exactly how much oil has been stolen by the ring and how much money they have earned illegally.
