Hanoi (VNA) – The Investigation Police Agency under the Ministry of Public Security has launched an investigation into Le Duc Giang, Vice Chairman of the Thanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee, and three others for their involvement in the wrongdoings at the Thien An Phat Minerals Joint Stock Company.

The agency confirmed on July 10 that it is probing into “violations of regulations on research, exploration, and exploitation of natural resources” and “violations of accounting regulations causing serious consequences”, which occurred at Thien An Phat and other related entities.

As the investigation expanded, authorities uncovered that several officials from state agencies in Thanh Hoa had abused their positions and power for personal gain.

Despite their official duties, these individuals allegedly committed wrongdoings in the assessment, advisory, and decision-making processes regarding the issuance of mineral exploitation licenses to local businesses, causing particularly severe damage to state assets and widespread public outrage among citizens and Party members.

Based on the initial findings, on July 2, the Ministry of Public Security issued a supplementary decision to start criminal proceedings against the case for “abuse of power or position in the performance of official duties”.

Police also issued detention orders and search warrants for Le Duc Giang, along with Pham Van Hoanh, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment; Nguyen The Hung, head of the department’s Division of Geology and Minerals; and Nguyen Van Tam, a specialist at the Office of the provincial People’s Committee for the charge of "abusing power or position in the performance of official duties"./.
