BROSS & Partners Achieves Major Success in Criminal Tax Case

BROSS & Partners achieves major success in criminal tax case

BROSS & Partners proudly announces a significant legal victory in a high-profile criminal case involving a US foreign-invested company operating in the Industrial Park in the north of Vietnam.

Under the leadership of Lawyer Tran Anh Hung, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of BROSS & Partners, together with his dedicated team, the firm provided comprehensive legal advice and robust defense representation for the company and its owner cum CEO throughout the investigation, prosecution and trial process.

The case, initially investigated by the Economic Security Investigation Police, centered on allegations of smuggling, tax invasion (tax evasion) and illegal invoice trading. After thorough review of evidence, procedural compliance, and application of relevant provisions under the Penal Code and tax laws and other new business favored regulations of the Government, especially the positions and arguments of defense lawyers of BROSS & Partners, the court has decided that:

• The company was waived from criminal prosecution for the offenses of smuggling, tax evasion and illegal trading of invoices as commercial legal entity.
• The company’s owner cum CEO was not sentenced to imprisonment and was only subject to a monetary fine.

This outcome is widely regarded as a highly successful result in a complex criminal economic case involving a foreign-invested company in Vietnam. It reflects the effectiveness of strategic legal defense, meticulous preparation of documents, and persuasive arguments on the nature and extent of any violations, which helped mitigate criminal liability to monetary fine.

Lawyer Tran Anh Hung commented: “We are extremely pleased with this positive resolution, which protects the legitimate rights and interests of our client while demonstrating the importance of professional legal representation in criminal economic matters. Our team worked diligently to ensure a fair process and the best possible outcome under Vietnamese law.”
