After these people lost all their money, they were arrested by these gangs and called their relatives to demand payment. If they did not pay, these gangs would attack them.

Faced with the above situation, the Criminal Police Department's Criminal Investigation Department has proactively grasped, collected information, established relationships, and the activities of groups of Vietnamese people lending money to gamblers in Cambodia.

L assigned H and NHL to lead 2 groups of Vietnamese people to find or through brokers at the casino to connect and negotiate with gamblers who needed to borrow money (from 50 to 200 million VND, for a term of 3 days, with 10% interest cut in advance). At the same time, to ensure that the gambler did not run away from debt, the subjects would rent a room near the Moc Bai Casino area. After the gambler borrowed money, the subjects would designate and take the borrower to gamble at the Moc Bai Casino and supervise and manage. If the borrower won, they would collect 15% of the "deep" money. If they lost all the money they borrowed, the subjects would take them back to the rented room mentioned above to keep them, threaten them, and force them to call their relatives to pay the debt.

On November 29, 2024, Mr. H and his wife went to Cambodia to play at casinos near Tho Mo border gate, Long An province and lost all the money they brought.

Through a broker, Mr. Hoan borrowed 100 million VND from the NHL group and was taken by the subjects to Moc Bai Casino to gamble, recover the money and pay off the debt. Because Mr. H continued to lose all the money he borrowed, HL's group took Mr. H to a motel in the Titan area managed by Chinese people, about 500m from Moc Bai Casino to keep him.

NVT realized that Mr. H was the person who owed NMH's group 200 million VND that had not been paid before, so he informed PL and H.

At the motel, HL forced Mr. H to call Ms. D (Mr. H's wife), and at the same time HL directly called and threatened Ms. D to pay Mr. H the principal of 100 million VND and interest of 20 million VND, otherwise he would take action.

On the morning of December 1, 2024, while being detained, Mr. H tried to escape, was caught by Titan building security and asked to pay a fine of 5,000 USD for causing trouble in Titan area, and at the same time did not allow HL to keep Mr. H here.

After that, PL agreed to let HL group hand over Mr. H to H's group to continue to collect money (including the debt that Mr. H borrowed from H's group since October 2024).

During the detention and transfer, Mr. H screamed and struggled, so the subjects in HL's group held him down, used tape to tie his legs and arms, and covered his mouth. HL used a knife to attack him.
