AIC’s chief accountant Do Van Son was “kidnapped” in Dubai and brought back to Vietnam?
It can be said that the first kidnapping case that shocked public opinion was the abduction of Trinh Xuan Thanh in Berlin, Germany. Trinh Xuan Thanh fled to Germany where he had applied for asylum but he was kidnapped by Vietnam’s secret police right in Germany’s capital. Vietnamese police did not ask permission to enter the country, silently took him home.
Trinh Xuan Thanh’s case touched public opinion very strongly, because in Germany, a lot Vietnamese people live and work. For Vietnamese people who have a good sense of the spirit of rule of law, they will never tolerate such an act of disregard for the law, even if the one who tramples on German law is a government. Also because there are many overseas Vietnamese living in Germany, Trinh Xuan Thanh’s case was known early by the online community and strongly voiced.
In order to legitimize the arrest of Trinh Xuan Thanh, the Communist government reported that Trinh Xuan Thanh had returned home and surrendered himself. This play is to cover up the evil actions of the Communist Government from the people, and at the same time to avoid being criticized by Germany.
The second kidnapping case is the case of blogger Duong Van Thai in Thailand. Thanks to the Vietnamese refugee community in Thailand, the new story was revealed quickly. And the way of the Communist government of Vietnam is also a script to legitimize the act of arresting people abroad. The Communist government has accused Duong Van Thai of illegally entering the border. Border trespassing is a misdemeanor, not in solitary confinement like his current situation is.
In addition to the above two cases, there is also the Truong Duy Nhat case. The Vietnamese communist government also kidnapped this journalist in Thailand. The case of journalist Truong Duy Nhat was also strongly condemned by the Vietnamese community around the world. In addition, former Colonel of Public Security Intelligence – Phan Van Anh Vu – is also said to be kidnapped in a Southeast Asian country. Vu’s abduction was more silent than the others, because he had no connections in the country where he was arrested.
On the afternoon of July 4, the Government Office held a regular Government press conference to provide information on the socio-economic situation in June 2023. Gen. To An Xo said that the former chief accountant of Advanced International Joint Stock Company (AIC Company) had surrendered. The person who is said to “give up” is Do Van Son (born in 1977), former chief accountant of AIC Company, who is wanted in the AIC case, has surrendered to the Police Investigation Agency in order to be considered for leniency.
However, another source informed us about a week in advance, that an AIC accountant was kidnapped in Dubai. But the information provider did not give the name of the person arrested, so we had to wait for verification. Moreover, in Dubai, we are also unable to connect with anyone who may know this case to verify, so we had to wait for the announcement from the authorities. And indeed, after that, the Government announced that this person had “surrended.”
It is known that 7 people in AIC Company fled abroad, including its Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan. Some others are said to be living in the US. Where Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan is hiding, it is impossible to determine.
If the information that the AIC accountant was kidnapped in Dubai is correct, then indeed, the Minister of Public Security is extremely active. Almost international community did not make him falter, but was more aggressive. When the Communist state needs to catch criminals, it must also know how to comply with international law and respect the laws of the host country. This kidnapping action shows that the Vietnamese communist government is a lawless government that does not know how to respect the international law. The Vietnamese people will suffer with this government.
