Police complete probe of former PVN leadersVietNamNet Bridge – Police have completed their investigation of fallen political figure, Dinh La Thang, recommending that he be prosecuted for alleged breaches under his leadership at the PetroVietnam (PVN), which led to VND800 billion (US$35.5 million) in losses to the State. Fifty-seven-year-old Thang, a former Politburo member and former chairman of the PVN’s Members’ Council, was accused of deliberate breaches in economic management causing serious consequences. The police also recommended prosecuting PVN General Director Ninh Van Quynh under two charges: deliberate economic breaches and abuse of power. The probe also involved Nguyen Xuan Son, former general director of Oceanbank, who was accused of deliberate violations in economic management. While investigating Thang’s responsibilities for wrongdoings at PVN, police also looked into his role in several breaches at a PVN subsidiary – the PetroVietnam Construction Joint Stock Corporation, involving the Thai Binh II thermal power plant.
