Many loopholes in the fraud of the bank "beauty" were exposed.
(Baonghean.vn) - On the first day of the trial of Nguyen Thi Lam - former officer of Eximbank Do Luong, the statements of the defendant and related people clearly showed many loopholes of this bank in controlling transactions with customers.
Entering the trial on the afternoon of July 13, the panel of judges questioned additional details related to the cash flow after Nguyen Thi Lam appropriated it from her customers, including the money Lam used to buy land to build a factory for Mr. Nguyen Van Long in Nghi Phu commune, Vinh city and the money to build Lam and her husband's house in Yen Son commune, Do Luong district.

At present, some details related to the cash flow have not been clarified, so the panel of judges decided to extend the deliberation time, and is expected to continue the trial on the afternoon of July 16.
"If the money flow is clarified, the verdict will be announced on July 16. In case the case file needs to be returned for further investigation, the panel of judges will consider this option," said the presiding judge.
In this case, Nguyen Thi Lam (born in 1987) was a former employee of the Do Luong Transaction Office, a branch of the Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank) in Vinh City. Defendant Lam was prosecuted for "Fraudulent appropriation of property". According to the indictment of the People's Procuracy of Nghe An province, from 2012 to 2016, Nguyen Thi Lam took advantage of customers' trust, deceived customers into signing payment orders, signed fake payment authorizations, and payment statements, appropriating more than 50 billion VND.
Lam's actions have dragged 15 colleagues into the "incident". 15 officers and employees of Eximbank were prosecuted for the crime of "Intentionally violating State regulations on economic management causing serious consequences", including Dang Dinh Hong (born in 1973, former Director of Eximbank Do Luong Transaction Office) and Tran Kim Thoa (born in 1982, former Deputy Head of Credit Department of Eximbank Vinh branch).
