The embezzlement offense carries the death penalty.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">In August, Germany accused the Vietnamese intelligence service of kidnapping Thanh from a Berlin park. Vietnam denied that, saying Thanh turned himself in to police voluntarily, but the incident strained bilateral ties and Germany expelled two Vietnamese diplomats.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The trial yesterday involves the two men and 20 other defendants who are mostly current or former senior oil executives, including three other former chairmen of PetroVietnam.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">PetroVietnam and the banking sector have been at the centre of an unprecedented crackdown on corruption under the watch of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Communist_Party_of_Vietnam\">Communist Party<\/a>\u2019s General Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_Ph%C3%BA_Tr%E1%BB%8Dng\">Nguyen Phu Trong<\/a>, who was re-elected to another five-year term in early 2016 at the party congress.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The trial of Thang and Thanh \u201csends out a stern warning that there will be no \u2018no-go zones\u2019 in this campaign, and corrupt officials, no matter who they are and what position they hold, will be brought to justice,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.project-syndicate.org\/columnist\/le-hong-hiep\">Le Hong Hiep<\/a>, a research fellow at the Singapore-based <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Southeast_Asian_Studies\">ISEAS<\/a> \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Southeast_Asian_Studies\">Yusof Ishak Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201cThe campaign has some aspects of political infighting, but the main driver is still the Party\u2019s wish to stem widespread corruption, which has undermined the people\u2019s confidence in the Party\u2019s governance capabilities as well as its economic reform efforts,\u201d Hiep said.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">He said political power had previously been fragmented and the fight against corruption inefficient, but Vietnam\u2019s political power structure was now concentrated in favour of the general secretary position. The corruption crackdown was intensifying now because Trong and his allies were able to consolidate power after the party congress, Hiep said.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Once a rising political star, Thang was dismissed from the all-powerful Politburo in May and was subsequently fired as secretary of the southern commercial hub of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ho_Chi_Minh_City\">Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">He was arrested on December 8 while his brother <a href=\"https:\/\/tuoitre.vn\/bat-tam-giam-ong-dinh-manh-thang-em-trai-ong-dinh-la-thang-20171209104906051.htm\">Dinh Manh Thang<\/a> was detained one day later for alleged embezzlement in another corruption case. Hiep said the trial of Thanh will continue to have a chilling effect on relations between Vietnam and Germany and may affect the free trade agreement between Vietnam and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23EUVFTA\">EUVFTA<\/a> may be delayed, but I believe it will eventually be ratified by the EU, especially if the trial of Thanh is seen as transparent and fair. In the end, economic considerations may outweigh political ones in this case,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Security around the courthouse in central <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hanoi\">Hanoi<\/a> was tight.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">\u201cI\u2019m happy that the government is getting tough on corruption with the trial of Thang, a former Politburo member,\u201d said Ngo Quang Hung, 62, a retiree, who was among few dozen people gathered outside the courthouse. \u201cBut the anti-corruption crackdown will not be a successful one if corrupt money is not retrieved back to the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The trial in which foreign media is not allowed to attend is expected to last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam ranks 113 out of 176 countries in Transparency International\u2019s 2016 corruption index.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7710\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7710\" src=\"http:\/\/anticorr.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/download.jpeg\" alt=\"\u0411\u044b\u0432\u0448\u0438\u0439 \u0433\u043b\u0430\u0432\u0430 \u041f\u0435\u0442\u0440\u043e\u0412\u044c\u0435\u0442\u043d\u0430\u043c Phung Dinh Thuc \" width=\"970\" height=\"647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/anticorr.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/download.jpeg 970w, https:\/\/anticorr.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/download-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/anticorr.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/download-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FILE PHOTO: PetroVietnam&#8217;s former chairman <a href=\"https:\/\/tuoitre.vn\/khoi-to-nguyen-tong-giam-doc-tap-doan-dau-khi-phung-dinh-thuc-20171220092337693.htm\">Phung Dinh Thuc<\/a> walks out of a court for lunch, in Hanoi, Vietnam January 8, 2018.

The only reporters allowed inside the courtroom are from state-linked organizations and news about the trial tops bulletins on the strictly-controlled government media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>Vietnam&#8217;s fight against corruption intensified last year after the security establishment gained greater sway under 73 year-old Communist Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>Scores of officials and executives have been arrested, most of them from PetroVietnam and the banking sector in the Communist-ruled country of over 90 million people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>The PetroVietnam trial is taking place at the same time as a separate trial in the commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City, where a fraud case involving Vietnam&#8217;s Construction Bank is being heard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<h3>Winners and Losers<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>Many of the most prominent figures at the trial in Hanoi were aligned with former Prime Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_T%E1%BA%A5n_D%C5%A9ng\">Nguyen Tan Dung<\/a>, who lost out to Trong in a 2016 power struggle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>While Dung was noted for the high profile ties of his family and lieutenants to big business in one of Southeast Asia&#8217;s most dynamic economies, Trong is a party stalwart with a much more modest personal reputation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>Among the Vietnamese diaspora, details of the trial are being lapped up &#8211; particularly in the United States, home to an estimated 1.3 million Vietnamese immigrants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>In Vietnamese-American communities in the United States, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Little_Saigon,_Orange_County\">Little Saigon<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Orange_County,_California\">Orange County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/California\">California<\/a>, many residents fled as refugees during or soon after the U.S. war in Vietnam ended in 1975 &#8211; bringing with them an enduring hatred of communism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body-item ad-in-text-target \">\n<p>Few saw the trial as being the start of real change, to end corruption in a country that ranked 113 of 176 countries on Transparency International&#8217;s most recent index of corruption perceptions.
