Many businesses around us are actively fighting against corruption. Within this article SDforB introduced a company in Long An has succeeded in refusing to give bribes and forcing officers who commit corporate harassment to face strict laws.

Company A provides trading and transport services in Ben Luc district, Long An province.  In 2015, Nguyen Trong Tinh, an officer of Ben Luc Tax Department led a delegation to inspect Company A on its compliance with the Law on Value Added Tax and the Law on Corporate Income Tax. Here, Tinh claimed that company A made a mistake and had to pay more than 1.4 billion dong. However, he did not clarify some items in this fine.

Notably, Tinh requested the owner of Company A to give him 200 million dong so he could reduce the fine down to 600 million dong. To this act of blackmail, the owner recorded the «negotiation» and denounced Tinh’s misconduct to the local police.

As the result, Tinh was caught while accepting bribes from the owner of Company A. The People’s Procuracy and the Ben Luc District Police decided to prosecute and arrested the defendant Nguyen Trong Tinh for 3 months to investigate bribery behavior.

The example of company A shows that businesses can completely protect their companies from corruption by refusing to pay bribes, coordinating with local authorities and using technology equipment to collect evidence to punish corrupt individuals.
