Zhang Huiyun sobbed and begged the court to reduce Ms. Zhang My Lan's deat.h sentence

Defendants Zhang Huiyun and Zhou Lijie said their last words in tears, and she asked the court to commute Ms. Zhang Meilan's sentence to escape the deat.h penalty.

Defendant Zhang Huiyun was emotional in his last words. She choked up: "Over the past 18 months, the defendant has learned many valuable lessons, from which he has a deep awareness of life. As a result, the defendant knows that only the lesson of suffering can be learned. We must not bathe 2 times on 1 river, life has nothing completely right, completely wrong, but only progress. The defendant asked the jury to impose lenient sentences on dependents, following the direction of his superiors. People get lost when the leader gets caught in the circle of justice."

"Begging the Social Security Council to mitigate the punishment of Ms. Truong My Lan - the defendant Truong Hue Van said through tears - The defendant's aunt may have improper business methods, but the purpose is not profitable, wishing to build Van Thinh Phat Group and contribute to the country's economic development. Her deeds are like people walking in hidden corners of society to share love, living always knowingly. But after all, what you need to know is the rule of law. May the council let her escape deat.h and wait to solve the problems that only she can do. The defendant believes in the good value of life, believes in the leniency of the law."

Meanwhile, Zhou Lijie was quite calm when he gave his final words in court. Mr. Co said: "I was the only foreigner at the trial, please consider my fine. So far, everything has happened to me, my wife, and my family, but I still don't believe it. Although I do not speak Vietnamese, I feel that my wife has to bear all the responsibilities of even the smallest things at SCB. The feeling of pity makes it impossible for me to forgive myself when my wife Cao Kang becomes entangled in the cycle of justice."

Mr. Co expressed regret, if only he had stood by that day and understood his wife's work more deeply, he would have dissuaded him from participating in the rescue of the bank, perhaps his family would not be in such a ruin today.

"As a Hong Kong businessman who came to Vietnam looking for business opportunities, I met my wife and gave birth to my beloved children. But unexpectedly, because of small mistakes, the family, his wife, and grandchildren are entangled in harshness. Times Square is my brainchild in Ho Chi Minh City. When my wife was in trouble, I gave loan guarantees. I didn't expect this to be a step that would get us into trouble. My wife was like a moth rushing into work.

If we didn't love this country, we wouldn't have worried, we wouldn't have stressed about vaccines during the pandemic helping city dwellers overcome deat.h. We do this because we want to join hand.s with the Government to save lives. At that time, my wife and I and Zhang Huiyun rushed into the epidemic to save many people," Mr. Zhou Lijie expressed.

Accordingly, Mr. Co believes that he has accidentally become an accomplice, intentionally or unintentionally, it has also happened and brought consequences. "I ask for my wife to be spared the deat.h penalty, and for Hui Yun to have her sentence reduced to take care of her children. I wish the council would give me a light sentence to return, because the sentence given is too harsh. Only when I returned was it possible to overcome the consequences, my children were immature and could not handle it. I apologize to my wife Truong My Lan for leaving her alone to handle many risky things. I promise to spend the rest of my life taking care of everything," Zhou concluded his final words in court.
