Hanoi police are investigating a large-scale fraud involving “holiday contracts,” with initial estimates indicating billions of dong have been misappropriated. Despite the significant financial scale of the crime, authorities report a surprisingly low number of victims have come forward. The Director of Hanoi Police has publicly appealed for individuals affected by the scheme to report to the authorities. Investigators believe the total amount defrauded could be substantial, but rely on victim testimonies to build a comprehensive case. The scheme centers around fraudulent timeshare agreements, and police are working to identify all involved parties. The lack of reports is hindering the investigation’s progress, prompting the public plea for cooperation. Authorities aim to recover the stolen funds and bring those responsible to justice.
