HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): The former head of Đại Đoàn Kết (Great Unity) newspaper in the central region has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for abusing his position.
According to the indictment released at the first instance trial on Monday , Nhất was appointed to head the newspaper’s office in Đanang in 1997.
Between 2003 and 2004, Nhất signed three documents to ask Đànẵng’s People’s Committee's permission to buy public land and property to build a new office for the newspaper.Nhất then sold the land on to Construction 79 Company owned by Phan Văn Anh Vũ for a similar price.The court said Nhất had helped Vũ buy public land, causing a loss of VNĐ13.8 billion to the State budget.The 56-year-old former journalist admitted his crime at the hearing but claimed he had not broken the law.
The People’s Supreme Court accused Lê Quang Trang, the newspaper’s former editor-in-chief, and Bùi Thượng Toản, former deputy editor-in-chief, for negligent management for allowing Nhất to buy the land.In 2014, Nhất was sentenced to two years in jail for abusing the rights to freedom and democracy to infringe upon State interests and the legitimate interests of organisations and/or citizens, under the Penal Code.
