Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi People’s Court will
reopen a trial for ex-minister of industry and trade
Vu Huy Hoang and nine accomplices
on April 22 for violations at the ministry and in Ho Chi Minh City that caused losses
of over 2.7 trillion VND (112.5 million USD).
The first-instance trial was first held on January 7. However,
it was delayed due to the absence of three defendants and many other people
whose rights and obligations are associated with the case. The trial was held
again on January 18 but suspended again for the same reason.
