Woman uses sex to run drug ring, busted by Vietnam police

UPDATED : 03/12/2017 12:45 GMT + 7

Police in Ho Chi Minh City have busted on a large-scale drug trafficking ring led by a woman who offered sex to her subordinates in return for their service.

The municipal Department of Police affirmed on Saturday morning that they had broken up a ring that illegally traded, stored, and transported a large amount of narcotics, arresting four suspects.

The ring members included Tran Kim Yen, 30, who was the mastermind of the illegal operation, and three of her subordinates, Nguyen Phung Huy, 25, Lam Minh Trung, 36, and To Van Tuan Thanh, 33.

Huy and Thanh were in charge of distributing the drugs to buyers while Trung took care of the transportation from the northern city of Hai Phong to Ho Chi Minh City.

The racket had been on the radar of police officers since June 2016, as they were found often transporting the stimulants, hidden in shipments of various machines, from northern provinces to the southern metropolis.

The drugs were stashed in many tenanted houses before being sold to addicts.

In order to run the operation, Yen had seduced the young men to work for her. In return, they were allowed to sleep with the woman as well as given a proper place to live and other luxuries.

Yen owned 10 different phones and stayed in several rented houses, all of which were safeguarded with security cameras and could only be accessed with identity cards.

She never showed up during any transactions with buyers and only let her subordinates do the tasks.

The members tended to travel on vehicles whose license plates were regularly changed in order to shelter themselves from competent authorities.

Following their investigation, police caught Huy red-handed delivering a package of drugs to his client on January 30.

Officers raided a house in Phu Nhuan District, Ho Chi Minh City, arresting Yen and Trung on the same day, before apprehending Thanh a few days later.

About 8.4 kilograms of synthetic drugs, 24,000 ecstasy pills, some BB guns, multiple motorcycles, and other relevant exhibits were confiscated.

Some other suspects are now wanted for their involvement in the ring.

In Vietnam, ‘clean-skin’ alcohol as easy to buy as candy

UPDATED : 03/13/2017 14:21 GMT + 7

A mass poisoning involving methanol-tainted alcohol in Hanoi last week has raised fresh alarms on the overlooked market where ‘clean-skin’ alcohol – the alcoholic beverages with no label, no manufacturing information and no nutritional facts – is widely available at dirt cheap prices.

Seven college students, including two women, started to develop symptoms of poisoning on the morning of March 9, after throwing a party the night before with 1.5 liters of unlabeled alcohol.

All were rushed to hospital and are still receiving treatment, with Hanoi police announcing on Sunday that they had launched an investigation into the sale of poor-quality alcohol in the Vietnamese capital.

According to the municipal health department, two Hanoi residents died of methanol poisoning, while 24 others were hospitalized between February 22 and March 11.


‘Good homemade alcohol’

It is not difficult to find and buy ‘clean-skin’ alcohol in Hanoi. It is always readily available at eateries, sidewalk cafés, pho shops and groceries across the capital.

The most popular products are ‘homemade’ alcohol shipped to Hanoi from the rural areas, with those made from rice fetching VND15,000 (US$0.67) a liter, and those from cassava, VND10,000 ($0.45) a liter.

At one rice eatery on Thanh Liet Street, Thanh Tri District, a kind of white alcohol is on sale for VND30,000 ($1.34) a liter, with the owner claiming the product to be “good homemade alcohol” from a rural area in the nearby province of Nam Dinh.

Overcrowding persists at Cam Ranh airport despite new terminal

TUOI TRE NEWS
UPDATED : 03/10/2017 16:35 GMT + 7

A new terminal under construction at Cam Ranh International Airport in south-central Vietnam’s Khanh Hoa Province might be falling short of its intended purpose to relieve the airport’s overload.

Construction of the second international terminal at Cam Ranh airport commenced last September as the airport braced under a surge of tourists visiting the neighboring beach city of Nha Trang.

Around 2.7 million travelers passed through Cam Ranh airport in 2015, far exceeding the 1.6 million yearly passenger capacity of the then-single terminal, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAA).

The terminal was expanded and upgraded at the beginning of 2016 to support up to 2.5 million passengers annually.

However, in the first eight months of 2016, the number of passengers handled by the airport was reported at over 3.3 million, giving urgency to the construction of an additional terminal.

According to developers, the second terminal will be built in two phases, with the first one slated to conclude in 2020, giving the terminal an initial capacity of 2.5 million yearly passengers.

By the time the second phase is complete in 2025, the terminal will be able to handle up to 4.5 million passengers each year, according to the project’s developer.

Even with the upgrades, the capacity is still expected to be too small to support the fast-growing number of tourists passing through the airport every year en route to Nha Trang, as Minister of Transport Truong Quang Nghia pointed out at a meeting with provincial leaders on Thursday afternoon.

Located 35 kilometers from the popular tourist city of Nha Trang, Cam Ranh airport is the nearest airport through which international travelers can access the coastal city.

“[Cam Ranh airport] is expected to receive up to 6.5 million passengers in 2017,” Nghia said. “The terminal will be overloaded even before it is finished.”

According to the terminal’s developer, its total investment is estimated at over VND3.7 trillion (US$167 million).

Parts of the terminal will be put to use as early as March 2018.

Vietnam frees Singaporean convicted of running gambling ring

By Hai Duyen March 13, 2017 | 10:41 pm GMT+7

The man walks free after paying the fine and returned all the money gained from his illegal Vietnam business.

A court in southern Vietnam has freed a Singaporean man after finding him guilty of running an illegal online gambling network in the country after the convicted has paid the fine and returned all the cash earned from the business.

The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Court on Monday sentenced Wong Boon Leong, 38, to 14 months and 24 days in jail, the time which he had spent in detention since his arrest in late 2015, and released him after the trial. Other Vietnamese accomplices were handed jail terms of up to two years.

The Singaporean mastermind was fined VND100 million ($4,390) for his offense, while his family has returned VND500 million he had raked in from his illegal operation.

In December 2014, the online gambling site Dafabet based in the Philippines sent Leong to Vietnam to organize an online gambling network in the country, according to Vietnamese police.

He had cooperated with a Vietnamese couple, Nguyen Thi Kim Cuc, 31, and Nguyen Van Nam, 35, to run the gambling ring. They were all arrested in late 2015.

Cuc, Nam and their other 61 accomplices got up to two-year imprisonment.

Vietnam considers gambling one of three major "social evils" along with general crime and prostitution.

The Vietnamese government has long banned locals from gambling in casinos, despite their popularity among foreigners and hot demand from Vietnamese.

The government, however, said in January it would allow citizens over 21 years old with a monthly income of at least 10 million dong ($445) to hedge bets in local casinos from mid-March under a three-year pilot program. Vietnam's average annual income was around $2,200 last year.

Ho Chi Minh City to relocate banished street food vendors

By VnExpress March 14, 2017 | 12:00 am GMT+7



The plan aims to support 500 street food businesses that have been affected by the city’s sidewalk revolution.

Ho Chi Minh City has announced plans to organize a street food area from June this year to support poor vendors affected by the sidewalk cleanup campaign, and to preserve its street culture.

District 1 officials said they plan to move street vendors to Nguyen Van Chiem Street near Notre Dame Cathedral, Bach Dang Park along Ton Duc Thang Street and the Saigon River, and then to sidewalks wider than three meters.

District chaiman Tran The Thuan told Phap Luat Ho Chi Minh City (Ho Chi Minh City Law) newspaper that the plan aims to help 500 street vendors who have been plying their trade for years in the area.

“It won’t just be a place of business; it will show the city's special culture,” Thuan said.

He said the district is also advising street vendors of a working age about more stable ways of making a living.

Authorities in District 1 started the "sidewalk revolution" early in February in a bid to reclaim the sidewalks for their original purpose and turn the district into a “Little Singapore”.

They have put up barriers and positioned police to stop motorbikes from driving on sidewalks. They have also towed many cars and destroyed invasive constructions.

The project has been widely applauded by locals, but it has also raised concerns for being too extreme.

Street vendors across District 1 are possibly the unhappiest. Some sandwich vendors have been left in tears as police roll their shops on wheels away, while others have scaled down from a pushcart to a basket so they can make a swift getaway.

Tran Le Thuy Van, who started selling noodles on Mac Dinh Chi five years ago, said the pushcart earned her family around VND250,000 ($11) every day, until the sidewalk campaign.

Van said local officials recently told her that she will be allowed to resume business at a street food corner, but only for two hours in the morning and two hours around noon.

“We will need more time,” she said, as cited by Phap Luat.

Thuan said the district will be open to all opinions before making a final decision.
