Truong My Lan, chairwoman of Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group, has been sentenced to death for her role in a $12.5 billion financial fraud, the largest in Vietnam s history. The verdict is part of Vietnam s crackdown on corruption led by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, with 84 defendants receiving sentences ranging from probation to life imprisonment. Lan s case highlights the pervasive nature of corruption in Vietnam s state and economy, with the "Blazing Furnace" campaign targeting senior officials and business executives.
Vietnam s former health minister and 37 others went on trial in Hanoi on Wednesday for their alleged roles in producing and distributing overpriced Covid-19 test kits.
