The State Bank of Vietnam’s disgraced inspection chief Do Thi Nhan said she regrets taking a bribe of US$5.2 million to cover up wrongdoing at Saigon Commercial Bank.

[...]

She pleaded with the court to show leniency given her remorse and other mitigating factors like handing in the entire bribe money to authorities and excellence performance at work earlier. But prosecutors said the mitigating factors notwithstanding, her crimes were "exceptionally cunning" and worthy of a life sentence for bribery.

[...]

The prosecutors have recommended capital punishment for her for committing severe crimes over a long period and causing irrevocable consequences.

maybe bit isn't quite the word, 'supporting' to string along the theatrical allusion. i mostly was just on the apparent confusion between her and the ones at the head of it. this is a super great story tho, imagine if anglo civil servants ever faced consequences like this stalin-feels-good
