Regarding the "boss" Kien case, two other criminal cases have been initiated.

During the sentencing hearing at the Hanoi City People's Court (June 9), in addition to sentencing defendant Nguyen Duc Kien to 30 years in prison, the panel of judges also decided to initiate criminal proceedings in two other cases.

The case of Huynh Thi Huyen Nhu embezzling trillions of dong at VietinBank is the largest case in the history of Vietnam's banking industry.

At the sentencing hearing for defendant Nguyen Duc Kien and his accomplices, the presiding judge, Judge Nguyen Huu Chinh, also decided to initiate a criminal case for illegal business activities at ACB Bank and Vietbank; and to initiate a criminal case for fraud and appropriation of property against Huynh Thi Bao Ngoc, who showed signs of being an accomplice with Huynh Thi Huyen Nhu in appropriating 718 billion VND.

A few minutes earlier, the panel of judges also stated that Ms. Dang Ngoc Lan (wife of "Chairman" Kien) and Nguyen Thuy Huong (sister of "Chairman" Kien) had assisted Nguyen Duc Kien in committing tax evasion, and deemed it necessary to request the investigating agency to clarify the matter, and if violations are found, to handle them according to the law. Regarding civil matters, the court ordered B&B Company to pay 25 billion VND in evaded taxes to the Dong Da Tax Department. As for additional penalties, the fine should be three times the amount of evaded taxes, totaling 75 billion VND.
