The State Bank of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City Branch held a press conference on October 8 to provide information on the operation of SCB amid negative rumours regarding the detention of Truong My Lan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Van Thinh Phat Group.
SCB Deputy General Director Hoang Minh Hoan stated that Truong My Lan, who was arrested for alleged fraud related to issuance and trading of bonds worth trillions of dong, does not hold managerial or executive positions at the bank.
