Criminal investigations in Vietnam

Overview

Authorities in Vietnam have conducted separate arrests involving financial crimes. In Son La province, police detained Nguyen Thi Thao, a TikToker known as ‘Thao Ran Ri’, for illegal high-interest lending. Investigators allege that since 2023, she provided loans with an annual interest rate of 182.5%, resulting in nearly 500 million VND in profit.

In Tay Ninh province, police arrested L. T. K. N. for allegedly defrauding a romantic partner of 937.5 million VND. The suspect reportedly used fake TikTok accounts posing as doctors and fabricated medical emergencies to solicit funds, which were then used for online gambling. The deception also involved fraudulent real estate contracts to maintain the appearance of solvency.
