Vietnam: trial of the president of a real estate giant begins for massive fraud. She allegedly embezzled $12.5 billion through a fraudulent loan system.
The sum is equivalent to 3% of Vietnam's gross domestic product. This exceptional trial, which will last two months, will see ten prosecutors and 200 lawyers parade, who will have to examine six tons of documents. This is the largest fraud ever committed in the country. As a result, the Vietnamese no longer have confidence in their banks, and are turning to gold.
