On April 7, the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Court opened a first-instance trial for 22 defendants in a case involving alleged violations at the Vietnam Rubber Group (VRG) and related units.
The Supreme People’s Procuracy accuses Nguyễn Thị Như Loan, chairwoman and general director of Quốc Cường Gia Lai, of acknowledging that the land at 39-39B Ben Van Don is state-owned land managed by state-owned enterprises, but nevertheless proceeding with negotiations to purchase it.
According to the prosecution, after negotiations, Loan—on behalf of Quốc Cường Gia Lai—signed a contract to transfer 100% of Phú Việt Tín for 460.9 billion VND. The prosecution further states that Loan transferred 65 billion VND to Đặng Phước Dừa to help other defendants complete the purchase process.
Investigators also allege that even before full ownership of Phú Việt Tín was completed, Loan agreed to resell the project to the Novaland group for more than 846 billion VND.
Investigations determined that, after deducting costs, Loan benefited illicitly by more than 297.8 billion VND.
The act is charged under Article 219(3) of the Penal Code for violations in managing and using state assets, causing loss or waste.
Before the case was brought to trial, authorities noted that Loan had repaid 100 billion VND in cash into the investigation account. She also voluntarily handed over four plots of land with an estimated value of about 281.2 billion VND.
Nguyễn Thị Như Loan was detained on July 18, 2024. After nearly four months in detention, on November 11, 2024, the preventive measure was changed to bail.
