Before the panel deliberated, the family of defendant Nguyen Duc Chung and the family of defendant Nguyen Truong Giang had remedied all the consequences of the case related to them. Defendant Nguyen Duc Chung also accepted responsibility for the project that was completed and is currently being suspended...

On the afternoon of June 21, the High People's Court in Hanoi continued to conduct the debate at the criminal appeal trial to consider the appeal of defendant Nguyen Duc Chung (former Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee) and defendant Nguyen Truong Giang, former Director of Arktic Trading and Service Company Limited (abbreviated as Arktic Company) in the case of purchasing Redoxy-3C product against regulations.

Lawyer Nguyen Van Tu (defending defendant Nguyen Duc Chung) presented a receipt for the payment of 15 billion VND to defendant Nguyen Duc Chung to remedy the consequences with the hope of partially remedying the consequences of the case.

Previously, the appellate panel said that defendant Nguyen Duc Chung’s sister, Ms. Nguyen Thi Van, had paid 10 billion VND on behalf of defendant Nguyen Duc Chung to remedy the consequences for defendant Nguyen Duc Chung. Ms. Nguyen Thi Van’s actions were presented as stemming from family affection between her sister and her younger brother.

After receiving this information, defendant Nguyen Duc Chung expressed his desire to return the 10 billion VND that Ms. Nguyen Thi Van had paid, and at the same time hoped that the panel of judges would allow him to meet Ms. Nguyen Thi Van to clarify the matter. "I need to know whether my sister gave me that money or lent it. I need to hear it from my own sister...", defendant Nguyen Duc Chung stated at the trial.

After the panel of judges allowed defendant Nguyen Duc Chung to discuss with Ms. Nguyen Thi Van on the afternoon of June 21, defendant Nguyen Duc Chung agreed to let Ms. Nguyen Thi Van pay 10 billion VND on his behalf to the Hanoi City Judgment Enforcement Department with the following words... "if the court determines there is damage".

At the trial on the afternoon of June 21, defendant Nguyen Duc Chung said he was aware of his responsibility in directing the testing and trading of Redoxy-3C.

“I am responsible for this project that has been completed and is currently being suspended. Redoxy-3C is a very environmentally friendly product... I hope the jury will consider allowing Hanoi Drainage Company to continue using this product to improve the water environment in Hanoi,” defendant Nguyen Duc Chung said.

Thus, up to this point, the family of defendant Nguyen Duc Chung has helped the defendant overcome all the consequences of the amount of 25 billion VND determined as damage in the case.

The defendant Nguyen Truong Giang's lawyer also said that the defendant Nguyen Truong Giang's family has also recovered the 7 billion VND in compensation that was forced upon them.

The chairman of the appeal court said that Hanoi's policy of treating the water environment with Redoxy-3C is completely correct, and Hanoi Drainage One Member Co., Ltd. can continue this project if it follows the correct procedures and regulations of the law.

Regarding the attitude of defendant Nguyen Duc Chung, the representative of the Hanoi High People's Procuracy exercising the right to prosecute at the trial stated that defendant Nguyen Duc Chung was aware of his responsibility in the purchase and sale of Redoxy-3C and accepted the responsibility of the leader. In addition, defendant Nguyen Duc Chung's family also paid the entire amount to remedy the consequences of the case. Therefore, the representative of the Procuracy requested the Appellate Court to consider and reduce the sentence for defendant Nguyen Duc Chung and reduce the sentence for defendant Nguyen Truong Giang.

Given the right to have the last word before the verdict, defendant Nguyen Duc Chung hoped that the appellate panel would acknowledge that he and his family had actively overcome the consequences. “In 2016 and 2020, I had a lot of time to go for medical treatment. Comparing with the contracts of the Hanoi People's Committee, many contracts were signed during the time I was receiving medical treatment abroad, I hope the panel will consider this factor and reduce my responsibility,” defendant Nguyen Duc Chung confided when giving his last words.

In his final words, defendant Nguyen Truong Giang hoped to receive leniency so he could soon return to society.

Defendant Vo Tien Hung (former General Director of Hanoi Drainage One Member Co., Ltd.) in his final statement hoped that the appellate panel would grant the three defendants leniency under the law. Defendant Vo Tien Hung stated, “No matter what position a person holds, there are times when they make mistakes. I hope the panel will consider the mistakes, motives, and psychology to reduce the sentence for Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung. I see that Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung has some wrong perceptions. However, as the leader, Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung was able to bring the Redoxy-3C product to Vietnam, helping Hanoi Drainage One Member Co., Ltd. have a new product to improve the water environment in Hanoi. I hope the panel will consider reducing the sentence for Mr. Nguyen Duc Chung.”

After the defendants had their final words, the appellate panel announced an extended recess and would announce the verdict at 3:30 p.m. on June 22.
