Vietnamese property tycoon Truong My Lan has lost her appeal against the death sentence handed down to her for masterminding the world’s biggest bank fraud.
The 68-year-old is now in a race for her life because the law in Vietnam states that if she can pay back 75% of what she took, her sentence will be commuted to life imprisonment.
Of that prosecutors say $27bn was misappropriated, and $12bn was judged to have been embezzled, the most serious financial crime for which she was sentenced to death.
