5 defendants were also prosecuted for the crime of violating regulations on management and use of State assets, causing loss and waste according to Clause 3, Article 219 of the Penal Code.
The information was given at a press conference on the situation and results of public security work in the first 6 months of the year, key tasks for the last months of 2025 organized by the Ministry of Public Security on the afternoon of July 7.
Of the 5 defendants prosecuted, 4 defendants are leaders of the Management Board of Key Economic Projects, Ministry of Health.
However, the list of defendants may not stop here, C03 is continuing to investigate and expand.
According to the investigation agency, to build Bach Mai and Viet Duc Hospitals with a second facility, the above officials caused a loss of 80 billion VND and wasted 770 billion VND. The total of these 2 items is 850 billion VND.
The Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption, waste and negativity requires focusing on investigation, striving to completely handle corruption, waste and negativity cases and incidents under the supervision of the Steering Committee, including 2 investment projects to build the second facility of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Friendship Hospital.
Legal handling of individuals who violate the law, at the same time recovering assets to minimize damage to the state.
Individuals involved in these two projects should proactively return the money and assets they have gained from committing crimes.
Please note, in the Phuc Son Group case, thousands of billions of VND were voluntarily returned by the defendant and people with related rights and obligations. In which, many people paid excess money, some individuals who were not defendants also voluntarily paid money to remedy the consequences.
For cases of corruption, waste, and negativity, in addition to punishing criminals, the important thing is to recover assets to minimize damage.
As for Viet Duc Hospital, Bach Mai facility 2, there is another thing to do, which is that in addition to handling the violating individuals of the prosecution agency, other units must continue to invest and implement to put them into use and exploitation by the end of this year.
To extend these two projects for another day is a waste of money.
