The police units should also launch intensive attacks on organized crimes, especially mafia-style groups while urgently investigating cases related to “black credit”, especially cases of great public concern, and coordinating with the procuracy and the court at all levels to strictly handle “black credit” criminals according to the laws.

The Deputy Minister also asked the Criminal Police Department, the Economic Police Department, the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention, and the Department of Economic Security under the MPS to coordinate with the State Bank of Vietnam to seek approaches in support of people who need loans.
