A 17-year-old man in the southern province of Long An was sentenced to one-and-a-half years probation Wednesday for blackmailing Vietnam’s largest dairy producer, Vinamilk , for VND70 million (US$3,500) with allegedly pesticide-tainted milk.


Pham Tan Loi, from Long An’s Tan An City, wrote to Vinamilk via the contact section on the company’s website saying he had three blocks of Vinamilk’s fresh milk which were contaminated with pesticide.

He warned Vinamilk that if the firm refused to give him VND70 million ($3,500) he would leak the poisoned products into the market.

Vinamilk agreed to give him some prepaid cell phone cards equivalent to VND50
million($2,500).

The parties agreed that Loi would go to an Internet shop to get the cards from a Vinamilk official. He received 15 cards in the first exchange, but after he attempted to get 14 more, police had been alerted and Loi was arrested.
