Indictment, arrest warrant for defendant Le Trung Khoa and his accomplices, what is the penalty?

Le Trung Khoa and his accomplices have just been prosecuted and temporarily detained on charges of "Making, storing, disseminating, and propagating information, documents, and items aimed at opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam".

On the evening of November 17, the Ministry of Public Security announced important information related to the fight against acts of violating national security. Accordingly, the Ministry of Public Security's Security Investigation Agency has just issued a decision to prosecute a criminal case on the charge of "Making, storing, disseminating, and propagating information, documents, and items aimed at opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam". This move affirms the determination of the authorities in protecting political and social stability and upholding the rule of law in the country.

Details of the Decision to Prosecute

A source from the Ministry of Public Security said that the investigation of the case has gathered enough legal grounds to determine that two individuals, Le Trung Khoa (born September 23, 1971 in Thanh Hoa) and Do Van Nga (born August 15, 1977 in Gia Lai), have committed serious violations of the law. Specifically, both defendants have committed acts of making, storing, disseminating, and propagating information, documents, and items aimed at opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

On November 17, the Ministry of Public Security's Security Investigation Agency officially issued a Decision to prosecute the accused and applied an Arrest Warrant to temporarily detain Le Trung Khoa and Do Van Nga. Both accused were prosecuted for the crime specified in Article 117 of the Penal Code - a provision that strictly handles acts of violating national security through the use of media and documents.

This decision has been reviewed and approved by the Supreme People's Procuracy, ensuring compliance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law. The prosecution and temporary detention of Le Trung Khoa and Do Van Nga is a necessary step to promptly prevent criminal acts, serve the investigation and handling according to the provisions of the law.

Subversive Behavior and Negative Impact

The act of creating, storing, disseminating and propagating information and documents against the State is a sophisticated and dangerous form of crime against national security in the current context. Subjects often take advantage of cyberspace and cross-border media platforms to post and spread false information, distort the Party and State's guidelines and policies, defame leaders, deny the country's development achievements, thereby causing public confusion, dividing the great national unity bloc and inciting opposition to the government.

In the case of Le Trung Khoa and Do Van Nga, the investigation results clearly confirmed that their actions constituted a crime under Article 117 of the Penal Code. This shows the seriousness of the documents and information that the two defendants created and disseminated. These documents were determined to contain hostile, reactionary content, with a clear purpose of opposing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, going against the common interests of the nation.

Anti-state propaganda activities not only cause political damage, but also negatively impact the investment and business environment and the international image of Vietnam. The timely detection and handling of such cases by the authorities is a testament to the determination to firmly protect the sovereignty of information security and ideological security, and at the same time a strong warning to any individual or organization that intends to sabotage the stability and development of the country.

Rule of Law and Investigation

The case of Le Trung Khoa and Do Van Nga is a typical example showing that Vietnamese law is applied consistently, with no tolerance for any acts that violate national security. The crime under Article 117 of the Penal Code stipulates a strict penalty framework, clearly demonstrating the deterrent effect of the law on acts of taking advantage of freedom of speech to carry out the purpose of opposing the government.

Currently, the Ministry of Public Security's Security Investigation Agency is closely coordinating with the Supreme People's Procuracy to continue expanding the investigation, collecting and consolidating evidence, clarifying the entire case as well as the specific roles and criminal acts of each suspect. The goal is to bring the case to trial openly and transparently, ensuring that all violations of the law are strictly handled in accordance with regulations.

The thorough handling of this case is not only to punish individuals who commit acts of sabotage, but also a strong measure to protect the Constitution and the law, maintain discipline and the rule of law, and contribute to strengthening people's trust in the stability and development of the country. The authorities will continue to provide timely information to the public when there are new developments in the proceedings.
