A former chairman of Nam Trieu Company is facing accusations of embezzlement amounting to 18 billion Vietnamese Dong. During court proceedings, multiple subordinates testified they inflated material costs, created off-the-books funds, and spent money based on directives from Nguyen Van Hung, the former chairman. Hung, however, refuted these claims, asserting that other defendants are attempting to shift blame onto him. The case centers around allegations of systematic financial manipulation within the company. Subordinates allege Hung directed the fraudulent activities, while Hung maintains his innocence and claims responsibility is being unfairly placed upon him. The court will now weigh the conflicting testimonies to determine culpability in the alleged scheme. The trial continues as authorities investigate the extent of the financial irregularities.
