Trinh Xuan Thanh, 51, had fled Vietnam after he was found to have violated State regulations on economic management resulting in losses of nearly VND3.3 trillion (US$142 million) for the PVC during his leadership.
On July 31, Thanh gave himself up to the Investigation Security Agency after nearly one year of evading international arrest warrant.
On September 16, 2016, the Investigation Police Agency decided to launch criminal proceedings against Thanh, residing at House No 24 – C2 Ciputra in Hanoi’s Tay Ho district.
After finding that Thanh had fled abroad, the ministry decided to issue an arrest warrant domestically and internationally for him.
