Hanoi - Vietnam police have charged 14 people for alleged involvement in an adoption racket that illegally sold children to foreigners, official media reported yesterday.
The official Cong An Nhan Dan (People's Police) newspaper said investigators in the northern province of Ninh Binh, 90 km (56 miles) south of Hanoi, had found that a senior official from the provincial justice department was allegedly involved in the scam.
The paper did not say how many children the ring had allegedly sold, but said those accused dealt in orphans, disabled children and cared for pregnant women before buying new-born babies.
