The State Bank of Vietnam’s disgraced inspection chief Do Thi Nhan said she regrets taking a bribe of US$5.2 million to cover up wrongdoing at Saigon Commercial Bank.
[...]
She pleaded with the court to show leniency given her remorse and other mitigating factors like handing in the entire bribe money to authorities and excellence performance at work earlier. But prosecutors said the mitigating factors notwithstanding, her crimes were "exceptionally cunning" and worthy of a life sentence for bribery.
[...]
The prosecutors have recommended capital punishment for her for committing severe crimes over a long period and causing irrevocable consequences.
yea there are more than 30 ppl on trial but imo the head of the Inspectorate and Supervision Departmenth of the SBV can by definition not just be be a "bit player".
but even if, sometimes it just feels good to read about that stuff, and open any news site any day (lets say today) and you will find something about a corruption arrest 😇
maybe bit isn't quite the word, 'supporting' to string along the theatrical allusion. i mostly was just on the apparent confusion between her and the ones at the head of it. this is a super great story tho, imagine if anglo civil servants ever faced consequences like this
yea get it, i added the header of the article to the post to clarify it.
