[Vnbiz] Vietnam Airlines has been implicated in a moneylaundering racket

[Binh, Vu The]

Dear a. Hoanh,

Instead of showing a company which we think it's clean, can we presume that 
all the companies/organizations which are not identified as dirty are clean? 
Is it a way of "positive thinking"?

Just a humble idea, :-)

Cheers,

Binh.

Dear CACC,

Looks like Vietnam Airlines has been run by a bunch of abusers.  It is being 
sued in Italy for millions of dollars. It is under investigation for using 
public funds on "scholarship" for high-ranking officicials' family members. 
Its pilots and flight attendants have got busted often for illegal money 
laundering or tariff-duty evasion.  And now this huge money laundering 
scheme.

Wonder if the entire board of directors and board of management should be 
asked to resign.

Wonder if there is any organization in Vietnam that is relatively clean?

Dear brothers and sisters, can we do something different?  Something more 
upbeat and happy?  Do you know of any clean organization?  Tell us.  We want 
to hear about them in this forum.  I want to see that there is any clean 
organization out there.  Even if we can't be absolutely sure, at least 
someone is believing in some organization.  So if you feel that your 
oganization or some oganization is clean, can you send its name to the 
forum.  So that we all can read some good news.

Thanks a million.  Have a geat day!

Hoanh

Vietnam Airlines implicated in $93m money laundering racket
Vietnam Airlines has been implicated in a $93 million money laundering 
racket smashed by the Australian Crime Commission last week.

Brother and sister Phat and Hang Huynh from Avondale Heights have appeared 
in the Melbourne Magistrates Court charged with laundering money for 
organised crime syndicates in Melbourne and Sydney.

They were among nine people arrested during last week's raids on Vietnamese 
communities in the two cities.

The court heard Phat and Hang Huynh helped launder more than $93 million at 
their Vietnamese money transfer businesses in Footscray, St Albans, 
Bankstown and Cabramatta.

They are alleged to have fled to Vietnam in June after hearing a Vietnam 
Airlines pilot had been arrested for his role in the racket.

The court was told the airline has ferried more than $10.5 million overseas 
since July last year.

The Huynhs will reappear in July.
