The commission will send a task force, including some Ben Tre provincial officials, to inspect inspect and assess his assets.
Since mid-February year, information published in the Vietnamese press publicly raised questions over Truyen’s luxurious home, which covers 16,000 square metres in Ben Tre Province.
Some newspapers have mentioned other villas in the province said to be owned by Truyen in the province, as well as other large homes that belong to him and his relatives in District 2 and District 7 of HCM City.
At a meeting with voters in Hanoi recently, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said the Central Inspection Commission of the Communist Party of Vietnam will take a close look at Truyen’s case, noting that he will not be shown leniency because he is retired.
