Director of Hanoi CDC Truong Quang Viet is arrested.
Following the initial investigation and verification, some public medical facilities and hospitals in the capital city of Hanoi had purchased Covid-19 test kits provided by Viet A Company. Amid the urgent Covid-19 pandemic situation in 2020, during the bidding package, the subjects had privately performed transactions with Viet A Company staff to advance and use the test kits before the bidding procedures or give product features of Viet A Company – manufactured test kits into bid call documents.
Hanoi Center for Disease Control (Hanoi CDC) involved in violations of bidding activities.
The above acts helped Viet A Company to become the only company to join in the bidding package and cause damage to the State budget more than VND9 billion (US$388,000) and the company sent kickbacks to relevant subjects.
After receiving money from two bidding packages, the chief accountant of Hanoi CDC benefited over VND1 billion (US$43,000) from Viet A Company. Regarding the case, the police identified that Ha Dong General Hospital and Ba Vi General Hospital also involved in violations of bidding activities.
