Discussion on criminal charges for trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro crimes in Vietnam

In the case mentioned above, Nguyen Van A is a trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addict who invites other trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts B, C, and D to his house to hang out. A gives B 2 million VND to buy drugs for A, B, C, and D to use at A's house. The investigative agency and the Prosecutor's Office have determined that A and B have committed the crime. However, there are different viewpoints regarding the charges:

The first viewpointstates that, in this case, A, B, C, and D are all trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts. A's act of providing drugs to other trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts for illegal use falls under the provisions of point a, item 6.2 ofThông tư liên tịch 17/2007/TTLT-BCA-VKSNDTC-TANDTC-BTPdated December 24, 2007, guiding the application of certain provisions in Chapter XVIII on trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro Crimes of thePenal Code 1999(referred to as Circular 17/2007 for short): "trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts with drugs (regardless of the source of the drugs) providing drugs to other trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts for illegal use shall not be held criminally responsible for the offense of organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use, but may be held criminally responsible for the offense of illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession or illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use depending on the circumstances."

According to Article 3 ofThông tư liên tịch 08/2015/TTLT-BCA-VKSNDTC-TANDTC-BTPdated November 14, 2015, amending and supplementing certain points of Circular 17/2007, the offense of "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use" has been abolished, and there is no longer a provision for this offense in the current Penal Code. Therefore, in this case, A and B commit the offense of "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession."

However, according to the author, this viewpoint is not entirely appropriate because, according to the provisions of Article 249 of the currentPenal Codeand point 3.1 of Circular 17/2007, "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession" is the act of illegally storing drugs anywhere (such as in a house, garden, buried underground, in a suitcase, hidden in clothing, worn on the body, etc.) without the purpose of buying, transporting, or producing illegal drugs.

In the mentioned case, the individuals purchased drugs (A gave money to B to buy) and used them immediately on the spot, without any intention of possession or actual possession. Therefore, it is not truly appropriate to determine that A and B have committed the offense of "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession."

The second viewpointstates that A and B did not commit the offense of "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession" because the elements of the crime were not fulfilled. A and B are not criminally liable for the offense of organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use according to the provisions of point a, item 6.2 of Circular 17/2007. Therefore, A and B are only administratively penalized for the act of illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use.

If we understand and interpret point a, item 6.2, as stated above, it would lead to the situation where A and B are not criminally prosecuted because A and B are trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts. However, if A and B are not trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts, they would be criminally prosecuted for the offense of "organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use." Therefore, understanding and interpreting point a, item 6.2, as the above viewpoints are not appropriate.

The third viewpoint,also the author's viewpoint, is that we need to understand that the provision of point a, item 6.2, of Circular 17/2007 only applies in cases where the drugs used are already available at A's house (regardless of the source of the drugs).

This means that in the case where A has a quantity of drugs that can be purchased, given by others, found, and brought home to store, A then invites B, C, and D to come and use them together. At this point, if A, B, C, and D are trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts, then A and B commit the offense of "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession"; but if one of them is not a trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addict, then A and B commit the offense of "organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use."

However, in the case of this trial, there were no drugs present at A's house before. A gave money to B to buy drugs for A, B, C, and D to use at their house. This case does not apply point a, item 6.2, as mentioned above, nor does it consider whether the individuals are trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro addicts or not. The behavior of A and B fulfills the elements of the offense of "organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use" as stipulated in point b, item 6.1 of Circular 17/2007.

Based on the fact that the law defines the offense as "illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro possession" for point a, item 6.2 of Circular 17/2007, and "organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use" for point b, item 6.1, it is reasonable to conclude that A and B should be charged with the offense of "organizing illegal trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro use" in this case.

Above is the author's research and views on determining crimes for trực tiếp bóng đá hôm nay euro crimes. We look forward to receiving many discussions and contributions from other specialing in the same field./.
