Before the news that Hong Dang and Ho Hoai Anh had returned their passports and returned home safely, many people could not help but wonder. Talking to reporter Zing.vn, Doctor and lawyer Nguyen Thanh To, currently working at Ta Quang Huy & Associates in Australia, shared that the fact that the two artists were allowed to return home meant they were acquitted.

"Two cases can happen when they return home. The first case is that the court has found them innocent and returned their passports so that they can go freely at any time. The second case is that they are guilty, but it is a misdemeanor they can be subject to fines and that violates the visa obligations of the Schengen Area.In violation of this policy, the police have the right to deport them out of Spain. Here, there are also two cases where the police booked a plane ticket to let these two artists go home when the trial ended, or the two artists were also deported but were allowed to decide on their own time to return home." he said.

The lawyer also added that if the court had returned the passports, both artists would still be ordinary citizens.

But if involved in a criminal investigation, the lawyer added: "Depending on the level of crime in the results of this investigation, Spain has different penalties for the two artists.

At the same time, he also shared the case of Hong Dang and Ho Hoai Anh: "The current information is very unclear, we can only rely on local newspapers in Spain. In addition, not much more is known about this case.From the beginning, the court granted them bail very easily from the first trial, only keeping the passports for the investigation process.It shows the evidence in the case. not really strong enough.

In case the police case has strong enough evidence, it is very difficult for the suspect to get bail. There will be a trial for bail. One is to use the money to get bail, the other is that the suspect has to prove that they have a place to live to make sure they can't escape their residence."

"In this case, the two artists must appoint a defense attorney and receive all court notices on their behalf. Normally, the two artists will receive enough advance notice to be able to return to Spain. attend if there is a next court session. In some cases, they are also not required to be present, the lawyer will be the one to stand trial on their behalf and send a notice of the court's conclusion, "said the lawyer.
