There are no forbidden areas for the idea of ​​a 'safe landing'.

The recommendation to prosecute Mr. Phi Thai Binh serves as a warning to those who hold power over economic activities in particular, and who wield state power in general, that their wrongdoings can be prosecuted at any time.

According to Le Thanh Van, a permanent member of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Committee, the investigative agency's decision to prosecute Mr. Phi Thai Binh, former Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee, is a follow-up to previous investigations related to the rupture of the Da River water pipeline.

This is consistent with the spirit of the recent Central Committee Resolutions 4 and 5. That is, regardless of who they are, when they violate the law, whether currently in office or retired, they must be held accountable before the law.

Representative Le Thanh Van stated that Mr. Phi Thai Binh's assertion that he acted with pure motives and without self-interest was merely his personal opinion.

The charges brought by the investigating agency are violations of legal regulations resulting in serious consequences. The investigating agency has clearly indicated violations in bidding, contractor selection, and the selection of materials without thorough assessment.

"Through the press, I learned that Mr. Binh and the Board of Directors directly interfered in the contractor selection process and material selection decisions. This behavior violates the rules and regulations stipulated by law. Therefore, the investigating agency is prosecuting this matter," said Representative Van.

The Standing Member of the Finance and Budget Committee further explained that violations in bidding are different from acts of corruption. However, corruption can also arise during the process of violating legal regulations.

The fight against wrongdoing knows no boundaries.

Representative Le Thanh Van stated that, thanks to the involvement of the entire political system, especially the Party and central agencies, the fight against corruption is transforming and spreading to the localities. The proposal to prosecute Mr. Binh demonstrates a strong resonance with the will of the Central Committee.

This serves as a warning and deterrent to those who hold power over economic activities in particular and those who wield state power in general, making them realize that their wrongdoings can be prosecuted at any time.

"This shows that the fight against corruption and wrongdoing has no forbidden zones, and there is no longer a safe haven for individuals who have committed wrongdoings and think they can land safely after their term ends or they retire," emphasized Representative Le Thanh Van.

He believes that the proposal to prosecute Mr. Phi Thai Binh is a positive signal to restore public trust.

The remaining issue is the swift and timely investigation and prosecution of cases involving violations of the law. For those driven by greed and the misappropriation of public assets, that is a red line that cannot be crossed.
