Using common property for personal gain

Regarding the group of defendants convicted of intentionally violating state regulations on economic management (Article 165 of the 1999 Penal Code), the People's Procuracy determined thatThe first instance court "had grounds" to accuse Mr. Tham of holding a leading role, directing subordinates to spend more than 1,500 billion VND in interest outside the contract, causing damage to Oceanbank.Thisdisrupting monetary security, causing Oceanbank to lose control, with bad debt accounting for nearly half of the total outstanding debt of the system.

The results of the investigation and public questioning at the trial showed that, in addition to the amount of interest paid outside the contract to individual customers, OceanBank paid interest outside the contract to economic organizations, most of which were state-owned economic organizations, but in fact paid to leaders. This created group interests, took advantage of public assets for personal gain, and facilitated corruption.

The People's Procuracy believes that there is sufficient basis to conclude that the defendants Le Thi Thu Thuy, Nguyen Minh Thu, Do Dai Khoi Trang, Nguyen Hoai Nam, Nguyen Thi Thu Ba, and Nguyen Thi Nga were accomplices who actively assisted Mr. Tham in the act of intentionally paying interest outside of the contract.and must be responsible for an amount from more than 100 billion VND to more than 700 billion VND.

The group of defendants, who are leaders of Oceanbank branches and transaction offices, must bear criminal responsibility for the amount of interest paid outside the bank's budget, from 1 to 15 billion VND each.

Mr. Tham played the main role, Ms. Phan was an assistant, using 500 billion VND to embezzle. The defendants Pham Cong Danh, Nguyen Van Hoan, and Tran Van Binh actively assisted.
