Several suspects in the overcharging for COVID-19 test kits at the Viet A Technologies JSC are being investigated for “offering bribe”, “receiving bribe”, and “abusing position and power while performing duties”. Initial investigation results show that they violated the Law on Bidding when inviting bids for the procurement of supplies for the COVID-19 prevention and control, causing “particularly serious consequences”. Legal actions have also been launched against related suspects at the CDCs of Nghe An and Binh Duong and the Health Department of Binh Duong. VNDAT Director Nguyen Truong Giang, an employee named Nguyen Thi Thuy of the VNDAT, and Regional Director of the Viet A Company Le Trung Nguyen are being probed for “violating regulations on bidding, causing serious consequences”. Police are expanding the investigation into this case, according to Lt. Gen. To An Xo.
