Female cadastral officer forged red books, embezzling nearly 3.7 billion VND

On the afternoon of May 17, the Investigation Police Agency of Cat Tien District Police, Lam Dong Province, issued decisions to prosecute and temporarily detain Nguyen Thi Nga (34 years old, residing in Cat Tien town) for 3 months to investigate the acts of abusing trust to appropriate property and using fake documents of agencies and organizations.

The Investigation Police Agency of Cat Tien District Police is completing procedures to transfer the case to the Investigation Police Agency of Lam Dong Province Police for investigation and handling according to authority.

According to the police, from 2011 to 2021, Nguyen Thi Nga worked at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Cat Tien district; from 2021 to 2022, she transferred to work as a land official in Duc Pho commune, Cat Tien district.

According to the investigation, from 2019 to 2022, due to needing capital for real estate business, Nguyen Thi Nga took advantage of her job position to find many ways to appropriate money from the victims.

Specifically, while studying for a master's degree in Ho Chi Minh City, Nga met a man named Hong who drove a motorbike taxi and specialized in forging certificates of land use rights, house ownership rights and other assets attached to land.

Nga ordered 10 fake land use right certificates, house ownership certificates and other property certificates attached to the land for 40 million VND. The information in the fake documents was taken by the female defendant from real land records when she was an officer at the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Cat Tien district and some plots of land in the name of her family members.

The female defendant then used the fake land use right certificates to mortgage 6 people to borrow nearly 3.8 billion VND . However, when the payment date came, Nga was unable to pay, so the victims denounced her.
