Agribank informs about the former chairman being wanted

The Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development ( Agribank ) has just officially announced that Mr. Nguyen The Binh - former Chairman of the Board of Directors (BOD) of this bank - was wanted by the police.

Accordingly, Agribank said that on September 19-20, some media reported that the police were searching for Mr. Nguyen The Binh - former General Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Agribank - in connection with an incident that occurred nearly 20 years ago.

In a recently issued statement, Agribank affirmed that this was the personal responsibility of Mr. Nguyen The Binh. He left Agribank many years ago and the law enforcement agency is considering his responsibility.

“This incident is completely unrelated to the management, operation and business activities of Agribank at the current stage,” Agribank emphasized.

Agribank affirms that it always strictly complies with legal regulations and is ready to closely coordinate with competent authorities in handling the case, ensuring transparency and objectivity.

Agribank affirmed that the former bank leader's wanted arrest has absolutely nothing to do with Agribank's current management, operations and business activities.

According to Agribank, the bank's business activities always comply with the provisions of law, always take place safely, stably, smoothly, ensuring the legitimate rights of customers and partners.

Previously, on September 19, the Department of Police Investigation of Crimes of Corruption, Economy, and Smuggling (C03, Ministry of Public Security ) issued a decision to prosecute and search for Mr. Nguyen The Binh (71 years old) to investigate the crime of Violating regulations on banking activities and other activities related to banking activities.

Currently, C03 has not announced specifically Mr. Binh's wrongdoings, but said that the case related to him was prosecuted by the Ministry of Public Security's Investigation Police Agency in early 2024. To date, Mr. Binh has fled.

Mr. Binh began his leadership career at Agribank when he was assigned as General Director in February 2007, and then officially held this position in the same year. From June 2009 to July 2011, he was Chairman of the Board of Directors of this bank.
