On January 11, Hoang Tan Luc, 34, Be Binh Duong, 39, and 5 registrar employees were detained by Hoc Mon district police for taking bribes. Mr. Luc, director of the 50-14D registration center, and many subordinates were accused of receiving “bribes” to ignore cars that could not pass inspection.
The investigative agency spent ten days searching the center – part of a plan to expand the investigation into the case of taking bribes in the public sector.
No word yet if there will be investigations into bribery of foreigners on arrival for visa issues at airports and the notorious Moc Bai border for “coffee money.”
