Xo also briefed participants on the initial investigation results into the Van Thinh Phat Group's case.
Although this is a complicated case, law enforcement forces are determined to clarify its nature and justice will be served, he said, adding that there is no element of criminalisation of socio-economic relations, adding respect for the law must be guaranteed.
The official noted that after legal proceedings against the case were started, a lot of fake and wrongful information appeared, confusing the public, affecting the stock market as well as the operation of businesses.
In the first 10 months of 2022, the Ministry of Public Security prosecuted and investigated 572 cybercrime cases, an increase of 144% over the same period last year. Meanwhile, the ministry settled 63 cases of spreading false information on websites with 68 defendants, while applying administrative punishments on 455 people and giving warnings to 1,500 others./.
