Prime Minister turns focus on hidden assets
Hanoi,
(VNA) – The Prime Minister has directed authorities to find the
assets of suspects in corruption cases in order to prevent them from being
hidden and to help in executing judgments against the accused.
According
to the PM’s instructions issued on February 6, the Ministry of Public Security
must direct the nation’s investigation agencies to locate the assets and must
ensure the execution of judgments in key and complicated cases related to
credit, banking and corruption.
Asking
the judiciary to closely follow Party guidelines and State policies on
strengthening legislation and justice, the Prime Minister also asked the
ministry to handle corruption cases and violations of the law.
The
State Bank of Vietnam was also assigned to direct credit organisations to
strictly assess clients’ property before lending them money and to closely
co-ordinate with civil enforcement bodies on cases related to credit and
banking.
The
Ministry of Interior was required to co-ordinate with the Ministry of Justice
to complete legislation on personnel management of the civil judgment execution
system.
People’s
Committees and civil judgment execution steering committees in provinces were
also asked to closely co-ordinate with the Justice Ministry in dealing with
problems on judgment enforcement in localities.
The
Department of Natural Resources and Environment in localities has to strengthen
inspections to prevent violations of law in transferring land use right and
assets attached to land, especially asset dispersal to evade the enforcement of
judgment.-VNA
