HCM City, Aug. 3 (VNA) - Police from southern Tien Giang province has detected a ring that illegally organised meetings between Vietnamese girls and prospective Korean husbands with its leader being a woman holding the Republic of Korea citizenship.
After nine months of investigation, police has found Oh Moon Sook hiding in Ho Chi Minh City, who has from July 2002 entered Viet Nam 28 times as a tourist, but in fact she operated as a matchmaker, violating Viet Nam's laws. She was assisted by two Vietnamese women to organise meetings between the "brides" and the clients, and prepare immigration procedures for Vietnamese brides to go to the RoK.
Recently, the ring has helped three Vietnamese girls in My Tho town to marry Korean men and to live in the RoK, the police said.
The ring was denounced by another girl, who had been married to a Korean man five months ago but could not go to the RoK due to her falsified papers. All of her money, jewels and dowry were kept by Sook.
Police said Sook violated the regulations on foreigners and overseas Vietnamese, who stay and participate in activities contrary to the original purpose of their entry into Viet Nam, so she will be forced to return all the jewels and money she misappropriated and will be brought to court in accordance with Viet Nam's law.-Enditem
