On the morning of July 22, at the trial of the rescue flight case, there was a show of “sad” love. That is, when saying the last word at the trial, Deputy Director of Bluesky Company Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang asked the trial panel for herself and Major General Nguyen Anh Tuan, former Deputy Director of the Hanoi City Police Department enjoy leniency. In addition, this businesswoman also asked to serve the sentence on behalf of Tuan.
Perhaps, this is the true words of this female defendant. When people fall into disrepair, they often express their feelings with true words. In this case, defendant Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang was tried for giving bribes, accused of giving 63 times, with a total amount of more than VND38 billion, to 12 people who were competent individuals during the process of applying for permits for 109 flights and medical isolation.
When Hang was involved in the criminal charge, Nguyen Anh Tuan, with the position of Deputy Director of the capital city’s Police, stood up to use his connections to help her get out of troubles. He not only failed to help her but was punished together with her. Now, both stood in trial for criminal charge.
Although “hero” Nguyen Anh Tuan also received a mountain of money to handle the case, not for free, but in the end, when standing in court, this woman still wanted to go to prison instead of him. This relationship clearly has emotional problems, but, it is unclear whether this is a two-way or one-way relationship.
In the structure of the interest group, it is rarely just political parties together, but often involves businesses that follow. The fact that officials take money from the budget is an obvious way of embezzlement, so they often take money through intermediaries who are businesses that bid for public projects. The state pays the enterprise according to the contract, and then the enterprise gives it back to the official, this is called “kickback.” At this time, the value of the contract is inflated much higher than the actual value.
The money in the interest group will run around as follows, from the state budget, money poured into the contractor’s pocket, through high-priced contracts. Then, the contractor gives the money back to the official. This type of cash flow model accounts for most interest groups from central to local. To do business sustainably between power and money like that, the business side often has to have a special relationship with officials. The head of an enterprise can be a distant relative of the official, possibly a friend, and possibly a lover. Only then will they keep a secret from each other.
Love stories in a group interest relationship are common. Private information tells us, the relationship between the former Chairwoman of the Advanced International Company (AIC) and the former Secretary of Quang Ninh province in the period 2011 – 2015 is also a love relationship. Women who are good at business and good at diplomacy under the “beauty” scheme also do not miss the opportunity to create relationships with money rights in this regime.
Ms. Hoang Thi Thuy Nga used to work as a deputy for Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan at AIC. Nga is a woman of beauty, in addition, she also has the ability to manage businesses, it is clear that she is the type of woman who can attract many powerful men. Therefore, after a while familiar with how to get the contract of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Nhan, Ms. Nga also opened her own business, and also applied the same way of doing business as AIC did. That’s why many officials were dumped when the companies of these beauties were revealed.
Beautiful women and officials are a fairly common relationship in Vietnam. Already nice and has diplomatic talent, fluency, ability to manage businesses, the no man can keep them away. Not every business woman can do the same. That’s why, when these beauties get caught up in criminal cases, many officials are always dragged by their necks. The case of Nguyen Thi Thanh Hang and Nguyen Anh Tuan is only the tip, the iceberg has a very large sink.
