Vietnam death row businesswoman in court for second appeal

 

BANGKOK – The mastermind of Vietnam’s largest corporate fraud, businesswoman Truong My Lan, returned to court Tuesday for her latest appeal, state media reported, while she continued other efforts to repay billions and avoid a death sentence.

 

The 68-year old chairwoman of prominent real estate company Van Thinh Phat was sentenced to death in April last year for the embezzlement of billions of dollars from Saigon Commercial Bank. The death penalty could be reduced to life imprisonment if she repays three-quarters of the estimated US$11 billion of stolen funds.

 

At the end of a second trial on related fraud charges in October, she was sentenced to life in prison for illegal property appropriation, 12 years for money laundering and eight years for illegally transferring money in and out of the country. Lan’s appeal, her second, is asking the High People’s Court in Ho Chi Minh City to reduce her life sentence.
