Lan is the founder of Van Thinh Phat, a leading real estate company in Vietnam. Van Thinh Phat was established in 1992 and became a powerhouse in the real estate sector, benefiting from Vietnam's transition to a market-oriented economy.
The fraud involved falsifying financial statements, creating dummy companies, and manipulating property valuations to inflate the company's assets and profits. The scheme siphoned off billions of dollars from the company.
The case highlights the government's commitment to root out corruption and graft. The sentencing of Lan is seen as a significant victory for the anti-corruption campaign, sending a strong message that no one is above the law.

The government is expected to introduce stricter regulations and oversight to prevent similar frauds. This includes efforts to ensure a fair and transparent business environment that fosters sustainable growth and investor confidence.
