Not the first case of this kind

In Vietnam, the authorities have repeatedly recorded successful strokes against illegal gambling in recent years. The Vietnamese police only managed to uncover and destroy a $ 420 million gambling ring last year. Further investigations carried out by the police to determine the entire extent of the gambling ring could also be uncovered to high -ranking politicians in the country. So now the chief inspector of the Ministry of Information, ặng app tuấn, is confronted with the accusation that Leaders of the illegal gambling ring to have protected against police investigations and accessthe connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016. already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischief. the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchn. the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming market. he made it with his results the connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016the connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016. already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischief. the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchn. the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming market. he made it with his results already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischiefthe connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016. already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischief. the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchn. the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming market. he made it with his results the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchnthe connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016. already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischief. the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchn. the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming market. he made it with his results the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming marketthe connections to the realm of illegal gambling even go back to 2016. already this year, the ministry had received confidential and reliable information and information that a gambling ring in vietnam is up to mischief. the investigation in this case was directed by the chief inspector ặng huchn. the result of his monthly questions: there would be no concrete suspected cases for illegal activities on the gaming market. he made it with his results he made it with his results to convince the entire ministry to let the investigation rest. A clearly false analysis, as it turned out afterwards. For this reason and the verifiable connection to the milieu, ặng hier must now be responsible for power abuse and the cover -up of criminal offenses.

Fight the illegal gambling

The government of Vietnam has been trying to stop the illegal gambling for some time. In addition to police investigations, the state also sets on to the highest politicians The introduction of a pilot project. This takes place on the island of Phu Quoc. There, gambling is experimentally legalized. In this way, it should be tested whether the local legalization has an impact on illegal gambling. Representatives of the office for international addiction and law enforcement matters, based in the United States, sees this pilot project with great skepticism. In an official report from March it says:

“Vietnam gave its first pilot licenses for local casinos in 2018 and thus increased his risk of money laundering if the authorities of these facilities do not ensure that anti-money laundering standards are effectively implemented.”

According to the report, despite all the attempts by the government institutions of regions such as Macau, the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam Massive illegal activities in the field of money laundering record. Rather, gambling companies offer the money washers an ideal opportunity to wash money in a very simple way. A final assessment of the effects of the local legalization of gambling of the pilot project on the spread and intensity of the money laundering will only be set up after the project has been completed.
