THÁI BÌNH — Police in northern Thái Bình Province on Thursday detained four officers related to the case of Nguyễn Xuân Đường, also known as Đường Nhuệ, who was arrested on April 9 for assault.
The officers include Phạm Văn Hiệp, 36, director of Thái Bình Province's Property Auction Service Centre under the Department of Justice; Vũ Gia Thành, 43, an officer at the Property Auction Service Centre; Trịnh Thị Minh Thúy, 50, and Hà Văn Dũng, 36, staff from the Centre for Land Fund Development and Resource Engineering under the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
