The indictment of the Central Military Procuracy read that amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, the Board of Directors of the VMMU sent a document to the Ministry of Science and Technology, proposing the task of developing COVID-19 test kits.
The accused managed to engage the Viet A Technologies JSC into the test kit development project worth nearly 19 billion VND (over 781,400 USD) and help it get the licence to illegally produce the test kits.
Their wrongdoings caused an economic loss of nearly 18.5 billion VND.
The first-instance trial is scheduled to last for three days./.
