    After nearly a month of trial and deliberation, on the morning of December 3, the High People's Court in Ho Chi Minh City will announce the appellate verdict on the defendants' appeal request. Due to the complicated nature of the case and the many defendants, the sentencing is expected to last for several hours.

    At around 8:00 a.m., defendant Truong My Lan and 47 other defendants were escorted into the courtroom. Previously, the representative of the High People's Procuracy in Ho Chi Minh City had requested to uphold the first instance sentence (death penalty) for defendant Truong My Lan for the crime of "Embezzlement of property", and at the same time reduce the sentence for the crime of "Violating regulations on lending in the activities of credit institutions".

    The representative of the Procuracy also noted the mitigating circumstances and proposed that the Trial Council reduce the sentence from 9 years to 7-8 years in prison for the defendant Chu Lap Co (defendant Lan's husband).
    a
    Defendant Truong Hue Van was proposed to have her sentence reduced from 15-16 years in prison to 14-15 years in prison.

    As for the defendant Do Thi Nhan (former Director of the Banking Inspection and Supervision Department II under the State Bank), the Procuracy proposed to reject the appeal for a reduced sentence, upholding the life sentence. According to the accusation, the defendant Nhan was the Head of the Inspection Team at SCB Bank, and received money from the defendant Truong My Lan 4 times through the defendant Vo Tan Hoang Van (former General Director of SCB) to ignore the violations at SCB. The total amount of money the defendant Nhan received was 5.2 million USD.

    Many other defendants were also proposed by the representative of the Procuracy to have their sentences partially reduced.

    Previously, at the appeal hearing, the defendant Truong My Lan admitted her guilt, pledged to compensate for all damages and hoped for a reduced sentence. However, the Procuracy maintained its view that the consequences of the case were particularly serious, requiring the defendant to recover about 3/4 of the amount of money embezzled in order to consider a reduced sentence. However, at the trial, the defendant presented many asset codes but did not have sufficient legal basis, so the Procuracy did not consider the request for a reduced sentence.
