The People’s Court of Ho Chi Minh City is expected to hear a case involving violations at a driving training center.
Several leaders and employees of the center have been prosecuted for forgery in office, abuse of power, illegal trading of invoices, and bribery.
According to the indictment, the center was licensed to provide driver training and issue vocational certificates for car driving, but it was not authorized to conduct driving tests.
Between 2021 and 2022, the center organized multiple training courses with thousands of students, though many did not fully attend the required classes.
To attract more applicants, the center’s leadership allowed staff to collect an additional VND 500,000 per application from students who wanted to “study faster and take the test sooner.” In total, more than 2,230 students paid this extra fee.
Ho Chi Minh detective, the investigation found that many training records were legalized by falsifying documents and test results.
In some cases, students who did not attend classes or take the test were still given forged signatures to complete their files and obtain certificates in violation of regulations.
