Notably, according to Mr. Dong, since the beginning of the year, the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Central Inspection Commission have disciplined 47 officials under the Central Committee's management. Among them are 2 deputy prime ministers and former deputy prime ministers; 3 ministers and former ministers; 7 secretaries and former secretaries of provincial and municipal party committees; 11 deputy ministers and former deputy ministers and equivalent positions; 18 chairmen and former chairmen of provincial people's committees; 2 chairmen of provincial people's councils; 4 deputy secretaries and former deputy secretaries of provincial party committees. According to statistics from the beginning of the 13th Party Congress term until now, Mr. Dong said that all levels have disciplined 141 officials under the Central Committee's management, including 31 members and former members of the Central Committee, and 24 generals in the armed forces. Regarding a number of cases and incidents under the supervision and direction of the Steering Committee, Mr. Dong said that since the beginning of the year, 44 officials under the Central Committee's management have been disciplined. In the case at the International Progress Joint Stock Company (AIC), the Central Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Central Inspection Commission have so far disciplined 89 party organizations and 126 party members, including 25 officials under the Central Committee's management. In addition, localities and units have disciplined 80 party organizations and 190 party members. In the case at the Dai Ninh Urban Area project ( Lam Dong ), the Politburo, the Secretariat, and the Central Inspection Commission have disciplined 6 party organizations and 14 party members, including 7 officials under the Central Committee's management. According to Mr. Dong, the Central Inspection Committee is currently inspecting and directing inspections when there are signs of violations against party organizations and party members related to the cases that occurred at Phuc Son Group and Thuan An Group.
"There is up and down, there is in and out" is gradually becoming a culture.
According to Mr. Dong, the investigation, prosecution and trial work continues to be directed to be carried out strongly and resolutely; many particularly serious corruption and negative cases related to many ministries, branches and localities are strictly handled in accordance with the motto "handling one case to warn the whole region, one field", "no forbidden areas, no exceptions, regardless of who the person is". The investigation agencies have proactively identified and determined key areas, chosen breakthroughs, initiated new prosecutions, expanded investigations, clarified the nature of corruption, appropriation, collusion, "group interests", resolutely handled violations, including in the State and non-State sectors, including outstanding and prolonged cases, including newly arising cases, related to many ministries, branches and localities. In addition, Mr. Dong emphasized the criminal handling of many high-ranking officials under the Central management. Figures show that in the first 6 months of the year, 16 officials under the Central management were prosecuted. Since the beginning of the 13th Congress term, 55 officials under the Central Committee's management have been criminally prosecuted, including 16 members and former members of the Party Central Committee. In the Phuc Son case, Mr. Nguyen Huu Dong said that among the 23 defendants prosecuted, there are 6 officials under the Central Committee's management, including 1 secretary, 1 former secretary, 1 standing deputy secretary of the provincial Party Committee, 2 chairmen, and 1 former chairmen of the provincial People's Committee. In the Thuan An case, among the 8 defendants prosecuted, there are 2 officials under the Central Committee's management, including 1 provincial Party Committee secretary and 1 deputy director of the National Assembly Office. Another outstanding result, according to the Deputy Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission, is the policy of continuing to encourage officials to strictly take political responsibility, voluntarily resign, and admit shortcomings when there are violations. According to statistics, from the beginning of 2024 to now, competent authorities have considered, dismissed from their positions, retired from work, and assigned other jobs to 14 officials under the management of the Central Committee and 172 officials under the management of local Party committees, regarding the responsibility of the head or related to corruption and negative cases. Among them, there are 5 members of the Politburo, 1 member of the Secretariat and 4 members of the Party Central Committee. "From the beginning of the 13th term to now, 32 officials under the management of the Central Committee have been considered for dismissal from their positions, retired from work, resigned, dismissed, and assigned other jobs. Among them are 7 members of the Politburo, 1 member of the Secretariat and 10 members of the Central Committee", Mr. Dong informed. He emphasized that this demonstrates seriousness but is also very humane, gradually making "up and down, in and out" become a culture, a normal practice in personnel work, creating a new breakthrough in the fight against corruption and negativity.
Recovering thousands of billions of dong in corruption cases
The Deputy Head of the Central Internal Affairs Commission said that the prosecuting agencies promptly detained, seized assets, and froze accounts of great value. Specifically, in the case that occurred at Phuc Son Group, the investigation agency temporarily detained a total amount of money and assets of more than 315 billion VND; nearly 2 million USD; 534 gold bars and 1,444 land use right certificates. In the case that occurred at Xuyen Viet Oil Company, 134 savings books worth more than 1,117 billion VND, 17 land and housing right certificates and many other valuable assets were temporarily detained. "Regarding the cases and incidents under the supervision and direction of the Steering Committee, in the first 6 months of 2024, nearly 7,750 billion VND was recovered (an increase of more than 5,650 billion VND compared to the same period in 2023), bringing the total amount recovered since the establishment of the Steering Committee to date to 85,520 billion VND - reaching a rate of 50.75%," said Mr. Dong.
