Real estate fraud investigations in Ho Chi Minh City

Overview

Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City are prosecuting multiple real estate fraud and money laundering cases involving the illegal sale of residential properties.

In one major case, the People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City returned an investigation file for further inquiry regarding a scheme led by Quach Moc Tan of An Lac Tan Real Estate Development Co. The case involves the creation of fictitious residential projects and the misappropriation of funds. Prosecutors have sought life imprisonment for Tan and several co-accused, with estimated losses totaling 372 billion VND.

Separately, police have detained Ngo Anh Tuan, a former manager of an apartment complex in Binh Thanh District. Tuan is accused of falsely representing his authority to sell resettlement apartments and using fabricated documents to collect over 2.1 billion VND from buyers, despite having no legal right to transfer the units.
