The anti-corruption scheme is suspected to be politically driven and targeted towards those who are close to former PM Nguyen Tan Dung. The high profile case taking place in Hanoi courts are the losses of about $150 million at a subsidiary of PetroVietnam.
Among the 22 executives accused, is a Politburo member, who Germany claims was kidnapped from a park in Berlin, forced to face the charges back home. However, when the Politburo member appeared in court he stated that he had returned home on his own will. The other executives accused are facing charges of “violation of state regulations on economic mismanagement”.
