In mid-November, the police received a complaint from Mr. Trung’s wife accusing her husband of having an affair with a subordinate. When she tried to stop him, Mr. Trung destroyed family property and assaulted her, forcing her to be hospitalized.

During the investigation, the authorities said there was no basis to conclude that Mr. Trung violated the monogamy regime. However, the beating of his wife, causing injury and damaging two mobile phones, was correct.
