Colonel Van Cong Minh, deputy director of thedepartment, said the case is beingbrought to light as its founder, Cao Thi Cuc, took advantages of religions and charitableactivities for her own benefits.
Earlier, the Executive Board of the Vietnam BuddhistSangha (VBS) in Long An affirmed that the establishment, now named "Thien am ben bo vu tru", is not under the managementof the VBS’s Long An chapter, and those living there are not Buddhist monks andnuns.
Initial investigations reveal that 62-year-old Cuchas turned the nearly 2,000sq.m land lot in Hoa Khanh Tay commune, Duc Hoadistrict, into a family worshipplace after purchasing it in 2014.
In fact, most of the children the group announced tobe orphans or homeless are living with their mothers in the worship place thataccommodates 18 people, of whom six are with their mothers.
The establishment has called for supportfrom donors at home and abroad for the children under the cover of caring for orphans, affecting social security andorder and causing public concern.
Notably, the group has used different social networkaccounts to publish video clips distorting the fact about the case./.
