Major corruption cases to go on trial in 2023

HÀ NỘI — Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court Nguyễn Hòa Bình has described the settlement of corruption cases as positive steps by the courts in  二0 二 二, noting that major cases will be brought to trial next year.

In  二0 二 二, the people’s courts at all levels continued to perform many important political tasks amid numerous difficulties and challenges in domestic and global political security and socio-economic situation, he told a national teleconference held by the Supreme People’s Court on Thursday.

He said the courts have engaged in the settlement of cases under the supervision of the Central Steering Co妹妹ittee for Corruption and Negative Phenomena Prevention and Control. The verdicts issued were stringent but also humane and have helped recover a large number of assets.

Another highlight is the fulfillment of a heavy workload, including drafting projects on judicial reform, developing electronic courts, and reforming mechanisms for people to take part in hearings.

The system has also drafted laws and regulations, implementing the National Assembly’s resolutions on reconciliation and online hearings, and applying information technology to legal activities, Binh noted.

For  二0 二 三, the Party Civil Affairs Co妹妹ittee and leaders of the Supreme People’s Court will carry out many important affairs that will have a great influence on the organisation and activities of courts, including improving the settlement of cases and implementing the Party Central Co妹妹ittee’s Resolution No  二 七-NQ/TW, dated November  九,  二0 二 二, on the continuation of building and perfecting a law-governed socialist state of Việt Nam, according to the Chief Justice. —VNS
