According to the Procuracy, defendant Chau Thi Thu Nga was the mastermind, directing other defendants to commit the crime, and was the user and beneficiary of all the embezzled money. The nature of the case is particularly serious, with consequences of an exceptionally large amount of more than 387 billion VND.

The defendants used the embezzled money for illegal purposes such as running projects, buying cars, etc., causing public outrage. Therefore, it is necessary to apply strict punishment to the defendants to serve as a general deterrent.
