Largest financial fraud in the country: Vietnam sentences businesswoman to death: Vietnam's communist government has been cracking down on corruption since 2016 ...

Quick 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.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

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.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: AfD-Russia Money Affair: Party Leadership Backs Bystron

AfD MP Petr Bystron is questioned by the party's federal board regarding allegations of receiving money from the Putin circle. Bystron denies the accusations and receives support from the party leadership.

Bystron is suspected of receiving money in cash in Prague or through cryptocurrencies. The Bundestag administration and the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office are investigating the allegations. Bystron has denied the reports in contradictory wordings.

Despite the accusations, the federal board emphasizes Bystron's innocence and requests evidence. Internal discussions on sanctions do not lead to immediate actions, as the list for the European elections cannot be changed.

While some party colleagues trust Bystron, others find his behavior untrustworthy. Bystron himself feels validated by the support of the federal board and accuses the Czech government of a conspiracy.
