They had violated the Party’s regulations and the State’s law during the performance of their assigned tasks and duties, and in the combat against corruption, wastefulness, and negative phenomena. They had broken the rules on the things that Party members are banned from doing, and on the responsibility for setting good examples. Their actions had resulted in very serious consequences and caused highly negative impact on the prestige of the local Party organisations and administrations to an extent that requires disciplinary measures.

Nguyen Hoang Thao, former Standing Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, former Secretary of the Party Committee at and former Director of the Department of Public Security of Binh Duong province; and Vo Thanh Duc, former member of the provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board, former Secretary of the Party Committee at and former Director of the Department of Public Security of Binh Duong, had infringed the principle of democratic centralism, the working regulations, the Party’s regulations and the State’s law during the performance of their assigned tasks and duties, as well as in the crime fight. They had violated the rules on the things that Party members are banned from doing and on the responsibility for setting good examples.
