In its announcement, the Inspection Commission said the Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security’s General Department of Police and its Standing Board had seriously violated working rules and the principles of centralized democracy, slackened the leadership and direction, and neglected supervision, so that some leaders and officials of the General Department and the Department of High-Tech Crime Prevention (C50) abetted and covered up the organisation of online gambling for a long time, causing serious consequences.

They also showed many violations in personnel work, investigation and handling of some cases, and implementation of a number of projects on investment and equipment procurement, it said.

The commission concluded that  Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Cong Son, former member of the Standing Board of the Party Committee and Deputy General Director of the General Department; Lieut. Gen.

Nguyen Duc Thinh, former member and Secretary of the General Police Department’s Party Committee and General Director of the Investigation Police Bureau for Economic Management Order Offences (C46) must bear the responsibility for the violations and mistakes of their agencies as leaders and the individual responsibility in realising their entrusted duties and tasks. 

The violations and wrongdoings of the Standing Board of the General Department of Police’s Party Committee and the above-mentioned individuals have affected the prestige of the Party organisation and the police sector, causing indignation in society, the commission said, calling for disciplinary measures in accordance with the Party’s regulations. 

Meanwhile, Colonel Nguyen Thanh Trang, deputy chief of the Office of C44 and Captain Nguyen Chi Trung, deputy director of the Office of C44, violated the principles and regulations on criminal procedures, so that disciplinary measures must be considered.  

The Inspection Commission also announced that Chu Hao, Director and Editor-in-chief of the Tri Thuc Publishing House, must bear the main responsibility for the house’s publication of several books with contents contrary to the Party and State’s viewpoints, policies and guidelines and violating the Publication Law which were revoked and demolished.
