Truong My Lan is said to have appropriated assets of up to VND304 trillion ($12.7 billion). Certainly, her victims cannot receive adequate compensation. Because more than anyone else, the rich know that using appropriated money to bribe officials is more beneficial to them than returning the money to the victims. The rules of the game have been like this for a long time, no one in the business world does not understand, and government officials also expect the same. They hope that those who grab people’s money and blood will give them a little, so that they can perform a play of justice so that both sides can benefit, but if they return the money to the victims, they will get nothing.
Stealing people’s money and being prosecuted, then bribing the judge, that’s the rule of the recent rescue flight case. The amount of money that the group of state officials and traders robbed from the victim in this case was up to VND4 trillion. However, after the rescue flight case was completed, the victims were not reimbursed a penny. The amount of money this group robbed was spent to bribe state officials and to have the sentence reduced.
The Supreme People’s Procuracy has just proposed that Chairwoman Van Thinh Phat Truong My Lan be granted extenuating circumstances, on the grounds that she has actively participated in charity activities, epidemic prevention, and contributions for community.
If we ask the opposite question, where does Ms. Truong My Lan get the money to support anti-epidemic vaccines? Wasn’t it taken from the VND304 trillion that she appropriated? Ms. Lan used money obtained from crime to give to charity, is it worth considering mitigation?
There are opinions that using the excuse of participating in charity activities, epidemic prevention, contributing to the community… is just deliberately finding an excuse to legitimize the results of the trial. After all, this reason sounds more reasonable than the reason “corruption without profit” which Mr. Trong’s group launched to cover up corrupt officials.
Communists are very poor in morality, their management ability is very bad, but they are always better at using tricks to make money than others. The so-called “leniency policy of the Party and the state” that prosecution agencies have been showing off to the people for a long time, to make it seem like “our Party is humane.” But in fact, that is not a humanitarian policy at all. To receive leniency, the applicant must bear what, someone who received “leniency” told us so. The words “humane” for Communists are a luxury that they never have. It is fortunate for the people that they are less evil but calling the Communists “humane” is as difficult as a star rising in the middle of the day.
In addition to the “leniency” policy, the amnesty and special amnesty policies for prisoners are also similar. To receive amnesty or special amnesty, prison officials and officials all charge sky-high prices, so that the prisoners’ families can give money. It all boils down to money, no prisoner will be pardoned if he/she doesn’t pay money to the prison guards.
The Van Thinh Phat case will be a big one, but certainly, there will be no refund of the entire amount of money appropriated to the victims. If all the victims are paid, how will the officials carrying out the proceedings make money? With the appropriated amount of up to VND304 trillion, Truong My Lan was not hesitate to bribe.
Fortunately, in this corrupt regime, there are people who know the nature of things and they leak the information out, so that people have the opportunity to see what is happening inside this regime.
For a long time now, so many people keep hearing the word “leniency” and think that the Party and State’s humanitarian policy is like propaganda for the press to sing about, but they don’t know, it’s just a trick to cover up the game. This regime is much more disgusting than we think.
