Read it:
Vietnam, 1975 to 2026. A one-party state set out to burn corruption in a furnace and did it in public: a property developer sentenced to death for embezzling twelve and a half billion dollars from a bank she controlled through nominees, two police generals convicted over an online casino run through a front company of the cybercrime police, an intelligence officer who acquired a city's public buildings, a fugitive oil executive taken from a Berlin park. The courts left three questions open: where the cash went, who chose the cases, and what a sentence costs to shorten. Covers Trương Mỹ Lan and Vạn Thịnh Phát Group, Phan Văn Vĩnh and the CNC company, Phan Văn Anh Vũ and Bắc Nam 79, and Trịnh Xuân Thanh and PetroVietnam Construction.
