Asset recovery in corruption cases is low
At the 28th session of the 10th Provincial People's Council in early December 2024, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha - Head of the Internal Affairs Committee of Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee proposed that all levels need to strengthen supervision and direction of thrift practice and waste prevention, especially when the rate of money and assets recovered from current economic corruption cases is very low.
A total of 12 cases were filed but only one case was carried out, only 433 million VND/95 billion VND was recovered, Mr. Ha cited.
Regarding economic cases, only 12 cases have been carried out, recovering 538 million VND; there are still 33 cases with 24 billion VND that have not been recovered. The conclusions of state inspections and audits, the rate of recovering money and land is low, remaining for many years.

Quang Nam Inspectorate recommends that there should be strong solutions to recover illegal assets. For units and enterprises that deliberately delay and do not pay illegal money, consider banning them from participating in bidding and receiving construction contracts for other projects and procurement packages.
