cnn.com/2024/04/11/business/truong-my-lan-vietnam-fraud-death-sentence/

Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.

Quick Glance: Mistrial Declared in Arizona Rancher's Case Involving Migrant Fatality

In the case of 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, accused of shooting a migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border, a judge has declared a mistrial.

Kelly faced charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault related to the fatal shooting on Jan. 30, 2023, of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a 48-year-old migrant from Nogales, Mexico.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in Kelly's statements to law enforcement officials during the investigation.

The defense argued that Kelly was merely protecting himself and his wife, firing warning shots above the group, while the prosecution contended there was no evidence of another shot being fired and that the migrant was unarmed.

Quick Glance: Rohit Sharma Takes Charge as Mumbai Indians Captain in Final Over After Akash Madhwal Ignores Hardik Pandya's Suggestions

Rohit Sharma took over as the captain of Mumbai Indians in the final over of the IPL 2024 match against Punjab Kings at the PCA Stadium in Mullanpur after Akash Madhwal ignored Hardik Pandya's inputs.

Preferring the young right-arm pacer despite Madhwal's poor performance, Hardik engaged in a lengthy discussion, prompting Rohit's intervention.

Due to their slow over rate, Mumbai Indians were limited to four fielders outside the 30-yard circle in the final over instead of the standard five.

Despite initial challenges, MI managed to clinch the match by effectively countering Rabada's final impactful shots and securing the victory.
