Vietnam court upholds death penalty for property tycoon

A court in Vietnam has upheld the death penalty for property tycoon Truong My Lan. This follows her April conviction for embezzlement and bribery amounting to $12.5 billion, equivalent to 3% of the country’s GDP. The court said Truong My Lan’s sentence could be commuted to life in prison if she reimburses $11 billion of what she owes. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Bill Hayton of the Asia-Pacific program at Chatham House about Vietnam’s anti-corruption campaign and the country’s use of the death penalty.
