HCMC - The Secretariat of the Party's Central Committee (PCC) expelled Do Huu Ca, former director of the Haiphong City Police Department, from the Communist Party of Vietnam at a meeting today, March 28.

The Secretariat took the same disciplinary action against Nguyen Dong, head of the Propaganda and Training Commission of Hoa Binh Province’s Party Committee; Truong Minh Hien, former vice chairman of the Ha Nam Province People’s Committee; and Vu Huu Song, ex-director of the Ha Nam Province Department of Natural Resources and Environment. These four individuals violated the Party's regulations and the laws, causing very serious consequences and great losses of the State's finances and assets, as well as negatively affecting the Party's reputation. Major General Ca, 65, has been charged with taking VND35 billion from a local businessman who asked him for help in an investigation into the illegal trading of invoices and tax documents. Dong was prosecuted for allegedly abusing powers and positions while on duty in mid-March. Hien and Song were charged with dereliction of duty that caused serious consequences.
