President Truong Tan Sang requested a review of the Huyen Nhu case.
After the Ho Chi Minh City People's Court concluded the first instance trial of the case of Huynh Thi Huyen Nhu and her accomplices on charges of "fraudulent appropriation of property", "forgery of seals and documents of agencies and organizations" and "loan sharking", there were many different opinions about the verdict that the first instance trial panel had announced.
Besides the opinions in favor, there are also many opinions that disagree with the results of the first instance trial, requesting to review Huynh Thi Huyen Nhu's crime, review Vietinbank's participation in the proceedings, saying that the verdict shows signs of letting criminals escape, is not fair, strict and not strong enough to prevent and deter crimes in the economic field.
