According to the Police Investigative Agency of Quảng Trị Province, the provincial police recently executed an arrest and remand order for Lê Văn Thành (born 1994, resident of Lao Bảo commune, Quảng Trị Province) for the crime of fraud and appropriation of assets. The prosecutorial decisions were approved by the Quảng Trị Provincial People’s Procuracy, and the investigating agency served the detainee in accordance with regulations. In the initial findings, during the period from September 2025 to January 2026, in order to obtain money to pay off old debts, Thành provided false information about the purpose of borrowing money to roll over bank loans to many residents in Lao Bảo and Khe Sanh communes (Quảng Trị Province). At the time, Thành was working at a bank branch in Lao Bảo (Quảng Trị), which led to the trust of many locals who lent him money to roll over loans. After receiving the loan funds, Thành appropriated and used most of the money to pay off other debts of his. By these means, he defrauded many victims in Lao Bảo and Khe Sanh (Quảng Trị) for a total amount of more than 29 billion VND. The Police Investigative Agency of Quảng Trị Province is continuing the investigation and informing residents in and outside the province. If anyone has been defrauded by Lê Văn Thành by the described acts, please contact the Quảng Trị Provincial Police Investigative Agency for guidance and resolution in accordance with the law.
