A Vietnamese court has sentenced real estate magnate Truong My Lan to death for her role in a massive $12.46 billion real estate fraud.

This is the largest recorded case of financial fraud in the country.

Lan, chairwoman of the Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group, was found guilty of embezzlement, bribery, and violating banking regulations. Her trial lasted only 18 days and ended earlier than planned.

The case is part of the Vietnamese government’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign. The government has been cracking down on corruption in recent years, which is deeply ingrained in Vietnam.

  • Type of fraud: Real estate fraud

  • Name of the convict: Truong My Lan
  • Position of the convict: Chairwoman of the Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group
