At least 21 violation cases were detected in the Vietnamese banking sector in the first five months of this year, according to the Government Inspectorate.
21 cases of banking sector violations found in five monthsof this year The cases have caused a total loss of VND682 billion (USD32.5 million), 561.2 taels of gold and USD50,000. However, the State Bank of Vietnam and management agencies have confiscated more than VND8.2 billion (USD390,476) and punished 30 violators, including 14 who were prosecuted.
The Government Inspectorate said, during the first half of this year, inspection agencies uncovered 6 corruption cases that cost a combined loss of VND1.7 billion (USD80,952) for the state budget. Meanwhile, the party’s inspection agencies and internal inspection agencies also detected 12 corruption cases that involved 16 individuals, resulting in an additional loss of VND8 billion.
The Ministry of Defense discovered one official who embezzled VND8.1 billion from the state budget. The case has been sent to the criminal inspection agency and he awaits prosecution.
According to the Government Inspectorate, a number of agencies, including those in Binh Phuoc Province and HCM City, still are late in submitting reports on their officials’ assets. These reports, however, are sometimes inaccurate.
The Government Inspectorate also added that accuracy of asset auditing remains limited due to the lack because there is a lack of ability in agencies to handle such work. Transparency in areas with high risk of corruption such as bidding, auctioning of state-owned enterprise assets for privatisation and land compensation is still weak.
