Overview
Dang Phan Tuong, former chairman of National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), has been prosecuted as part of a criminal investigation involving EVNNPT, PC1 Group and related companies. The notice was disclosed by Dong Anh Electrical Equipment Corporation (EEMC, ticker TBD), where Tuong currently serves as a board member. PC1 Group (HOSE: PC1) is named in the case, which the Ministry of Public Security continues to expand.
Key Facts
- EEMC published the unusual disclosure on 12 September 2026, confirming receipt of a notice from the Ministry of Public Security’s investigative police agency (C01).
- Dang Phan Tuong served as chairman of EVNNPT’s Members’ Council for nine years, from 1 September 2011 to 1 September 2020, before taking early retirement.
- He is currently a member of the board of directors of EEMC, listed on the exchange under ticker TBD.
- The C01 notice did not specify the charges against Tuong or any preventive measures applied to him.
- Authorities previously prosecuted 47 defendants in the same case across five offence groups: bid-rigging causing serious consequences, accounting violations causing serious consequences, asset embezzlement, giving bribes and receiving bribes.
- As of end-2025, EVNNPT managed more than 33,400 km of transmission lines, including about 12,335 km at 500 kV and over 21,070 km at 220 kV, plus 222 substations and more than 6,900 staff.
- PC1 shares closed at VND 20,400 on 12 September 2026; TBD last traded at VND 97,600 on 28 July 2026.
What Happened
EEMC said it received a notification from the Ministry of Public Security’s investigative police agency (C01) stating that, during the investigation of a criminal case at National Power Transmission Corporation (EVNNPT), PC1 Group Joint Stock Company and related companies, C01 had issued a prosecution decision against Dang Phan Tuong as a defendant. The company released the information on 12 September 2026. The document did not state the specific offence or any preventive measure imposed on Tuong.
Tuong spent years in the power sector and chaired EVNNPT’s Members’ Council from 1 September 2011 to 1 September 2020, leaving under an early-retirement arrangement. EVNNPT is a member unit of Vietnam Electricity (EVN) responsible for investing in and operating the national transmission grid. The case has already produced 47 prosecutions across five offence categories, and C01 said the investigation is being widened.
Market Context
PC1 Group trades on the HOSE and closed at VND 20,400 on 12 September 2026, the day the EEMC disclosure surfaced. TBD, the ticker under which EEMC shares are quoted, last printed at VND 97,600 on 28 July 2026, leaving a gap in price discovery for that line. The case sits in the energy and infrastructure complex, where Vietnamese construction and electrical-equipment names have been sensitive to procurement and bidding scrutiny, and where the widening C01 probe keeps legal risk on the sector’s agenda.
Strategic Significance
For PC1, the central question is not the prosecution of a former EVNNPT official but the company’s exposure as a named party in a case built on bidding, accounting and bribery offences. PC1’s order book has historically leaned on transmission and power infrastructure work, so any finding of procurement irregularities could affect eligibility for future EVN-system tenders and the pace of contract awards. For TBD, the issue is governance: a sitting board member is now a defendant in an active criminal case, and the company has disclosed neither the charge nor any interim board arrangement. Investors should treat the absence of detail as an information gap rather than a clean bill of health.
What to Watch
- Any C01 notice specifying the charges against Dang Phan Tuong or preventive measures applied.
- EEMC (TBD) disclosure on whether Tuong remains on the board or steps aside, and any convening of an extraordinary shareholder meeting.
- PC1 statements or filings quantifying any contracts, receivables or tenders linked to the EVNNPT case.
- Further prosecution announcements as C01 widens the investigation beyond the 47 defendants already charged.
- PC1’s next quarterly earnings release and any commentary on tender eligibility or backlog impact.
