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 Industry Group (VRG) and related units. The trial, presided over by Judge Nguyen Thi Ha, is expected to conclude on April 10.
According to the court, one defendant was absent, while another is wanted by authorities. Former Deputy General Director of VRG Pham Van Hien requested to be excused from the opening due to health reasons.
