Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case
- Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

- Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.
