Employee impersonates minister of transport for shipping alcohol by flight

The case was brought to the public after a video clip that showed several boxes of signed luggage with a piece of paper with Minister of Transport as the sender was sent out first on the conveyor belt at Tan Son Nhat Airport in HCM City.

According to the office of the Ministry of Transport, they had verified the case after receiving the news and concluded that the boxes were not related to the minister. The investigation result shows that the clip was recorded on April 26 and the boxes were from flight VN7211 from Hanoi. The sender was Pham Khac Dung, an employee at the Ministry of Transport's office.

Dung asked his connections at Noi Bai Airport to help send the boxes to Manh, a friend in HCM City. Dung said he pasted the label to avoid damage and get priority treatment during transportation.

Dung has been suspended for investigation. The office of the Ministry of Transport said they would continue the investigation and apply suitable punishments.
