18-year-old Nguyen Huu Tinh, from Tan Hung District, Long An Province, reported to police yesterday that a casino in Cambodia had captured him and then cut off one of his fingers after he lost US$3,000 there and his relative in Vietnam failed to repay as quickly as required by the casino.
He said the casino, named “Ba Quach” (“Mrs. Quach”), sent his finger to his mother on December 14 to urge her to pay his debt soon.
Vo Thi Biet, Tinh’s mother, told the police that on that day, a young man came to her house and handed her a black bag and four letters from Tinh, and asked her to quickly bring VND73 million (US$3,500) to Cambodia to pay off her son’s debt.
Biet, head of the health center in Vinh Thanh Commune, said she panicked upon seeing Tinh’s finger in the bag.
On December 19, Biet and her brother brought the money to the casino and took Tinh back, she told the police.
Tinh said he had been captured along with about 20 others, all of whom had either ears or fingers cut off and sent by the casino to their relatives in Vietnam as a warning.
Tinh said that a few underworld people at the casino threatened that they would kill the debtors and disembowel them in order to sell their organs if their relatives failed to repay their debts soon.
The province’s social crime investigation police department is investigating the case.
