Vietnam police trace assets of 46 suspects in vacation‑ownership fraud
The Lam Dong Department of Justice has asked notary offices in the province to provide contracts, notarized documents and electronic records for 46 individuals identified by the Hanoi Metropolitan Police CyberCrime Division. The request follows the launch of a criminal case against Amazing Star Joint‑Stock Company, which sold "vacation‑ownership" cards and defrauded around 500 people of more than 180 billion VND.
Authorities are seeking information on transfers, gifts, mortgages, deposits, authorizations and other high‑value transactions dating from 1 January 2023 to the present. The data will be used to block further dealings, issue risk warnings and potentially freeze assets of the implicated persons, who are reported to be young and reside across several Vietnamese provinces including Hanoi, Tuyên Quang, Ninh Bình and others.
