Previously, the Dong Nai Provincial Inspectorate conducted an inspection and pointed out many violations at Dong Nai University. In particular, the school under-declared and left out of the books the revenue for calculating corporate income tax in 2018 of VND 37 billion, leading to a reduction in the amount of tax payable to the budget of nearly VND 700 million. This shows signs of violating Article 200 of the Penal Code. Afterwards, the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee transferred the case to the provincial police for investigation according to regulations.

Regarding the incident, previously, Mr. Tran Minh Hung was disciplined by the Standing Committee of Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee by being removed from all positions in the Party; Mr. Phan Van Thanh was disciplined by being expelled from the Party.
