================================================== =======================

VietNamNet Bridge – On November 20, the Criminal Investigation Department of the People’s Supreme Procuracy served the decision to prosecute and arrest Mr. Nguyen Tuyen Dung, former Colonel, former deputy head of the Investigation Police Agency of Tien Giang Province for "abuse of power on duty."

The same day, the agency made an additional prosecution against Mr. Nguyen Van Nen, former Lieutenant Colonel, former deputy chief of the Office of Tien Giang Investigation Police Agency for the same charge.

Earlier, in early June 2011, the Criminal Investigation Department of the People’s Supreme Procuracy prosecuted and granted bail to Nen and Mr. Ngo Thanh Phong, former Colonel, former chief of the Office of the Tien Giang Investigation Police Agency. The agency also prosecuted and arrested Mr. Nguyen Van Ut, former Major, former captain of the general staff of the Office of Tien Giang Investigation Police Agency.

These police officers of Tien Giang province are determined to have made violations during the process of investigating the Nam Cam criminal ring and a gasoline smuggling ring led by Pham Hung.

The Criminal Investigation Department of the People’s Supreme Procuracy is continuing to expand the investigation and clarification of the role of other individuals in these cases.

Nam Cam (1948 – June 3, 2004) was a notorious gangster. He involved himself in criminal activity, amassing substantial wealth for himself. In 1994, he was arrested and convicted for his criminal dealings, but was released early in May 1995. Charges laid against him included murder, assault, gambling, organising gambling, organising bribery, abetting criminals, and organising illegal emigration.

The conviction that lead, perhaps indirectly, to his execution was due to his role in the assassination of underworld rival Dung Ha. Dung Ha, a reputed female gangster from Haiphong, moved south to Ho Chi Minh City, to join forces with Nam Cam, who hoped to get her to serve as his emissary in expanding his casinos in the north. However, Dung Ha had other plans to create her own gang, which angered Nam Cam. Dung Ha wanted to embarrass Nam Cam and arranged for a gift box containing rats to be delivered to one of Nam Cam's restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City. Humiliated and enraged, Nam Cam ordered a hit on Dung Ha, which was carried out on October 2, 2000. Two men, traveling on motorbike, came up and parked near where she was sitting. One of them got off the bike, walked up to her, pulled out a 9mm revolver and shot her in the head at point-blank range. The assassins escaped. On June 4, 2003, Nam Cam was convicted for ordering the assassination of Dung Ha, and bribing state officials to protect his criminal network.

On May 7, 2004, President Tran Duc Luong rejected Nam Cam's appeal of execution. On June 3, 2004, Nam Cam was executed by firing squad at the district 9 rifle range in Ho Chi Minh city, along with his four gang members Pham Van Minh, Nguyen Huu Thinh, Chau Phat Lai Em and Nguyen Viet Hung, the last being the one who shot Dung Ha.
