Shark Thủy and 28 others face prosecution in Egroup fraud case

The Ministry of Public Security's Police Investigation Department (C03) has concluded its supplementary investigation into a major criminal case involving Egroup Education Group, Egame, and Nhat Tran Trading Service.

Authorities have recommended the prosecution of 29 defendants on three charges: fraud, bribery, and receiving bribes. Central to the case is Nguyễn Ngọc Thủy, also known as Shark Thủy, the Chairman and General Director of Egroup and Egame. Thủy is facing prosecution for fraud and bribery.

Investigations allege that Thủy orchestrated a scheme to inflate charter capital and create fictitious revenue to lure over 10,000 investors, allegedly misappropriating approximately 7,677 billion VND. Additionally, Thủy is accused of collaborating with Tống Thị Kim Liên, Chairwoman of Nhat Tran, to generate 2,327 billion VND in fake revenue through fraudulent mobile phone card sales.

Official notices indicate there are 185 identified victims with a total investment value of 1,251 billion VND, of which over 968 billion VND in principal and interest remains unpaid.
