When the Supreme People's Procuracy (SPP) questioned the defendants to clarify the executive role of defendant Truong My Lan (68 years old, Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Van Thinh Phat Group) at SCB, Tran Thi My Dung (former Deputy General Director of SCB) was accused of "embezzlement of assets".
Defendant Tran Thi My Dung cried, disappointed in Truong My Lan.
When asked by the prosecutor how Truong My Lan withdrew money, defendant Dung said that when she needed to withdraw money from SCB, Truong My Lan directed Nguyen Phuong Hong, Truong Khanh Hoang, Tran Thi My Dung to coordinate with Nguyen Ngoc Duong, Nguyen Phuong Anh to create fake loan documents and plans to legalize them. Then, she brought in individuals who were hired to sign the fake loan documents, mortgage documents, and representatives of "ghost" companies to sign the fake loan documents and mortgage documents, most of whom signed on blank pieces of paper with the required signatures marked. The legal representatives and individuals whose names were on the loans were not allowed to enjoy or use the money, and did not know that they had borrowed and owed SCB a particularly large amount of money. Those whose names were on the assets all confirmed that they were not their assets.
At court today, defendant Dung admitted that establishing the loan and borrowing Truong My Lan's assets was correct.
Defendant Truong My Lan burst into tears when talking about the accusation of taking over SCB.
According to defendant Dung, the loans of Truong My Lan and Van Thinh Phat ecosystem were disbursed first and legalized later. The loan records show the disbursement time at the same time as the signing of the credit contract and mortgage contract, but in fact, the withdrawal of money at SCB was made before the credit contract and mortgage procedures were completed and legalized.
"If Ms. Lan is wrong, she will admit it and not blame anyone."
In court, defendant Dung stated that he often met Truong My Lan on the 39th floor of Times Square Building, each time he met to listen to Truong My Lan talk about her loan needs, how much money she needed, when she would use the money, where to disburse it, and what the collateral was... Defendant Dung joined SCB in 2010, and through many bosses, his job inherited the job of Nguyen Phuong Hong (former Deputy General Director of SCB) handling valuation and money sources for Truong My Lan.
Defendant Dung stated that he admired Truong My Lan very much, so since working at SCB, he has been very loyal to Truong My Lan.

"However, when I heard Ms. Lan's answer this morning, I was very sad. I do not blame Ms. Lan, I only blame myself for not trusting the right person. I admit my mistake, I do not blame anyone. I hope Ms. Lan is the same, but I am disappointed," defendant Tran Thi My Dung said, crying.
The representative of the People's Procuracy continued to ask, in mid-2022, did the defendant prepare the financial situation and outstanding debt status for Truong My Lan or not and why did the defendant prepare that report? Defendant Dung replied that he did so at Truong My Lan's request, so that Truong My Lan could take control of the outstanding collateral of Van Thinh Phat Group at SCB. Defendant Dung transferred this report to Lan on the 39th floor of Times Square Building.

Defendant Dung further stated that after SCB disbursed to the ecosystem of Van Thinh Phat Group, the money was used to buy projects, pay costs for unfinished projects (construction, paying contractors...), pay debts, withdraw cash...
The Deputy General Director of SCB admitted that when making loans on Truong My Lan's assets, the defendant Lan would say the loan amount was 70% - 80% of the collateral value. During the working process, if there were some assets that the valuation unit could not meet Truong My Lan's needs, the defendant would report back to Truong My Lan.
The indictment determined that defendant Dung worked at SCB from May 2010 to September 2022, holding various positions and titles. From January 7, 2021 to March 4, 2022, Tran Thi My Dung was the Deputy General Director approved to grant credit for credit granted under her authority, signed the credit proposal to submit loans of over VND 150 billion.
According to the indictment, Tran Thi My Dung directly received instructions, regularly exchanged and discussed with Truong My Lan to convey and direct the defendants at SCB to legalize fake documents, disburse to withdraw money for Truong My Lan to use.
Defendant Dung knew clearly about Truong My Lan's loans but they were under the names of individuals and "ghost" companies because these loans all had in common that they were monitored on the SCB system as "HSTT - Marketing Headquarters"; disbursement and withdrawal of SCB's money first, then completing the legalization of the loan application. In fact, units at SCB did not appraise customers, appraise collateral, did not care about loan options, and ignored the normal lending process according to the law. In 2021, Tran Thi My Dung was given 300,000 SCB shares (equivalent to 3 billion VND) by Truong My Lan.
The indictment shows that defendant Tran Thi My Dung actively helped Truong My Lan embezzle more than 200,690 billion VND from SCB.
Where did Truong My Lan's driver take 108,878 billion VND and more than 14.7 million USD?
According to the indictment, after SCB disbursed money into the accounts of individuals hired to be loan beneficiaries or beneficiaries, these individuals would come to SCB to sign withdrawal documents.
When needing to use some cash immediately, Truong My Lan directly instructed Nguyen Phuong Hong or Tran Thi My Dung to prepare, and at the same time directed Bui Van Dung (Truong My Lan's driver) to go to SCB Saigon Branch to receive the money.
After withdrawing cash from the fund, Bui Van Dung was given the money to transport to Truong My Lan's house at Sherwood Building at 127 Pateur, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City, and handed over to Tran Thi Hoang Uyen (Truong My Lan's maid) so that Uyen could deliver the money to the recipients as directed by Lan or Dung could transport the money to Van Thinh Phat Group to deliver to individuals as directed by Truong My Lan.
The accusation shows that from February 26, 2019 to September 12, 2022, under the direction of Truong My Lan, Bui Van Dung transported VND 108,878 billion and more than USD 14.7 million from SCB to Van Thinh Phat Group or to Basement B1, Sherwood Building or delivered to a number of individuals under the direction of Truong My Lan.
The indictment determined that Truong My Lan used the above amount of money to pay off debts for buying real estate, buying shares in projects and for other personal purposes.
