14 DAY TRIAL // Eight individuals, suspected of being involved with a criminal organization responsible for stealing credit card and e-commerce information, were arrested last week by Vietnamese police. Documents, expensive cars, high-tech telecom equipment and other luxury items were seized from the alleged scammers.
According to Tuoitrenews, authorities believe the suspects have gained access to information that allowed them to steal millions of dollars from individuals located in several countries.
Investigators believe a 24-year-old named Truong Hai Duy, from the southern Hau Giang Province, is the mastermind of the cybercrime group.
In addition to stealing credit card details, the ring has also been operating a number of gambling websites.
Vietnamese authorities are currently trying to identify other individuals involved in the criminal ring.
The UK Criminal Investigation Department and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation have also collaborated on the investigation.
