As many as 678 cases of land encroachment and illegal construction in Phu Quoc City off Kien Giang Province, southern Vietnam will be subject to police investigation.

The Phu Quoc People’s Committee said on Wednesday it had asked the administrations of Ganh Dau and Duong To Communes, as well as relevant agencies, to review these cases and provide documents linked to the cases to the provincial police department in order to aid in the investigation.

The department’s investigators previously sent a list of these 678 cases to the Phu Quoc administration, requesting confirmation on whether the locations of these cases were under the management authority of Phu Quoc, which cases had been fined by the city’s administration for land encroachment or illegal construction, and the effect of the fines.

According to the investigators, 260 cases were reported at a school area in Chuong Vich Hamlet and 157 at Suoi Lang in Ganh Dau Commune, while 261 others were reported in Duong To Commune’s Duong Bao Hamlet.
