Lose yourself in betrayal

(Baonghean.vn) - After a long time of meeting, the first sentence I heard from him was a bit confusing: "I can't believe that people reduced his sentence!...". He is a law enforcement officer, so when I heard him say that, I asked him: Who is he that you care about?

“Oh, it's Hoang Van Hung - a former investigator convicted of fraud and property appropriation in the rescue flight case…”, he replied.

Breaking news. Hoang Van Hung (former Head of the Security Investigation Agency of the Ministry of Public Security) is the defendant who was sentenced to life in prison by the court of first instance in the rescue flight case in July 2023 for fraud and property appropriation in the amount of 800,000 USD. Among the defendants, Hoang Van Hung deserves to be recognized as the "famous" defendant, receiving the most attention from the press and social media users.

That "fame" was because Hung declared that the briefcase contained 4 bottles of wine, and repeatedly requested the prosecution agency to provide evidence to prove that Hung received the money with a "challenging" look; Hung even "boldly" said his last words "sacrificing his life to cry out for justice".

Recently, on December 23, two days before the appeal hearing of the rescue flight, the name Hoang Van Hung became "hot" again in newspapers and social networks when he "unexpectedly confessed and returned the money to fix the case of 18.8 billion VND".

Regarding Hoang Van Hung's sentence reduction, it is exactly as his friend, a law enforcement officer, said. From being sentenced to life in prison, on December 27, the Court of Appeal (High People's Court of Hanoi) accepted Hung's appeal, reducing the sentence to 20 years in prison. The reason for the reduction, as reported by the press, is that Hung is no longer the Hung of the first instance trial, has shown remorse, admitted his crime, and returned the money to fix the sentence of 18.8 billion VND.

Knowing that, I asked him again: In any case, Hoang Van Hung has realized his mistake, knows how to repent and overcome the consequences, so he is entitled to leniency from the law. Why should he worry? His face was as hard as steel, his voice cold: “There is nothing more precious and sacred than the love of comrades and teammates in our profession. Hoang Van Hung is the main investigator in charge of the rescue flight case, but he colluded with outsiders and received money from the subjects under investigation to avoid punishment. When he committed those acts, Hung became a traitor to his comrades and teammates; he trampled on the most sacred and noble things. Knowing that “you cannot beat someone who runs away, but you cannot beat someone who runs back”. That the law always extends leniency to criminals who have repented and reformed. But for those who have the heart to betray their teammates and trample on the most sacred things, it is very difficult for us to ignore…”.

Listening to his story, I found it to be true. I also remembered many cases in which there were officials and party members in the law enforcement sector who violated the law; in the name of fighting corruption, they were corrupt and profited. For example, in the case of Phan Sao Nam's illegal sentence reduction, a series of officials and party members of the Quang Ninh Provincial Court were disciplined by the Central Inspection Committee; or most recently, the case involving former National Assembly delegate Luu Binh Nhuong, who was accused of the crimes of "Extortion of property" and "Abusing position and power to influence others for personal gain"...

Seeing them - they are all traitors to their comrades, teammates, forgetting what is sacred and noble; and they themselves have lost themselves!
