On Jan. 7, Senior lieutenant-colonel Nguyen Van Thang , vice head of Ben Cat district Public Security, said the district investigation police unit arrested Le The Song, born in 1963 in Nghe An northern province who allegedly tried to blackmail by impersonating a reporter.
Song, a newspaper seller in My Phuoc IP, knew about Phan Van Tuyet’s trouble of deposits at a bank in Thu Dau Mot town and posed as a reporter who could help Tuyet take back his deposits. They negotiated that Song would enjoy 10% of commission of the deposit from Tuyet.
Dec. 10, 2009 Song and 4 his friends arrived at Tuyet’s farmstead to arrest Tuyet after Tuyet refused to offer him commission. Local policemen rescued Tuyet and arrested Song and his friends.
