The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 29 issued a decision to suspend the work of four officials of the Consular Department to serve the investigation into a case of taking bribes while licensing the firms that conducted repatriation flights for Vietnamese people.
Determining that this is an act of seeking profits illegally, with the spirit of no forbidden zones, no exceptions and no tolerance, the ministry will closely coordinate with related agencies to clarify the case.
Earlier, the Investigation Security Agency under the Ministry of Public Security prosecuted and detained the four individuals for the charge of “taking bribes” under Article 354 of the Penal Code. Decisions on the search of their workplace and residence were also made.
