According to results of an investigation by the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department for Criminal Investigation, Nhất Tín Debt Purchase and Sale Co., Ltd., led by Ho Minh Dat with his wife Nguyen Thi Giang, operated a debt-collection model under the guise of debt-purchase contracts to legitimize the activity. Through the network of Nguyen Trung Duc, the group received debt dossiers worth about 70 billion VND from an individual. The agreement among parties determined profit sharing ranging from 30% to 50% based on the total amount actually recovered from the debtor. To carry out asset recovery, the defendants signed fake contracts to create a legal cover for extortion. After completing procedures, the group repeatedly sent personnel to the victims' homes and business premises in Tam Long Ward and Ba Ria Market to carry out intimidation. The group focused on psychological pressure, hindering normal business operations with the sole aim of forcing the victims to settle the loans as requested by the company. Data from the police indicate that from late July to early October 2025, Nhất Tín mobilized many uniformed staff, traveling by cars to stay outside the victims' shops. The groups alternated patrolling, gathering crowds, and using ongoing intimidation measures. During operations, some members even assaulted and damaged assets, directly affecting the lives and psychology of the victims' family members as well as employees. Based on documents and exhibits seized, the Investigative Police have charged Nguyen Trung Duc and eight other defendants related to Nhất Tín with Extortion of assets under Clause 4, Article 170 of the Penal Code. The seized items at the scene include numerous debt-purchase contracts, company seals, uniforms, and vehicles used to serve the crime. Authorities are continuing to broaden the investigation and pursue the remaining suspects at large in accordance with the law.
