Hanoi (VNA) - The Ministry of Public Security’s investigation police has issued aninternational wanted notice for a fugitive bank executive for fraudulence,illegally appropriating over 10 million USD from a customer.

The wanted notice is on 47-year-old Le Nguyen Hung, formerdeputy director of the Vietnam Export Import Commercial Bank (Eximbank)’s HCMCity Branch for fraudulently appropriating 245 billion VND from lender Chu ThiBinh, a seafood entrepreneur in HCM City.

Initial investigation showed that Binh, as a VIP customer ofEximbank’s HCM City Branch, could enjoy services at home without visiting thebank. Between 2014 and 2016, based on Binh’s entrustment, Hung visited Binh’shouse for final resettlement of her bank accounts. He then forged some fakedocuments to withdraw Binh’s money. In February 2017, Hung suddenly resignedfrom his post and went abroad. When Binh checked her bank accounts, she foundthe money was gone and reported the theft to the Ministry of Public Security.

Hung had been working for Eximbank since1991 and had been atthe HCM City branch for 10 years. An Eximbank representative said that Binhtrusted Hung and chose to work directly with him. Binh has been asking for hermoney back but Eximbank said it must wait for a final decision from court.

All information about Hung should be reported to investigationpolice at (84-24)0693336785/(84)983297979 or nearest police.-VNA
