At about 11:00 a.m. on April 17, 2025, during an inspection at the Mong Cai international border gate.
The authorities discovered that Pham Thi Van Anh (41 years old, residing in Mong Cai) had hidden 4 gold-colored metal bars on her person.
According to a Vietnamese private detective agency, these four bars are suspected to be pure gold.
These metal bars were not declared to the customs authority according to regulations in Vietnam.
Through initial inspection, the Border Guard determined that the 4 metal bars had the symbol Au 999.9, with a total weight of 4kg.
Pham Thi Van Anh confessed that the above amount of gold was hired by a woman named Quynh to transport from China to Vietnam through Mong Cai border gate to receive payment.
The Border Guard Station of Mong Cai international border gate made a record and seized the evidence.
The authorities completed the initial records and coordinated with the People’s Procuracy of Mong Cai City to issue a decision to temporarily detain the subject.
The case is being investigated and clarified by the authorities.
