GIA LAI — Two men will be prosecuted for arranging illegal cock fights in what police describe as the biggest gambling case since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Dương Hồng Sơn and Võ Đơn Sơ were detained by officers in the Central Highlands (Tây Nguyên) province of Gia Lai after a raid last month.

The pair, both aged 50, were changing entry fees and also selling food and drinks in an area at Mang Yang Pass, Phú Danh Village, Hra Commune.

In total, 49 people were arrested during the raid on April 22 and police seized VNĐ230 million (US$9,860) in cash, five cars, 19 motorbikes, and eight birds.

Investigations into the other people caught during the raid are continuing. — VNS
