A LOCAL property tycoon who was jailed for life in a US$17bil (RM74.9bil) money laundering case had her sentence cut to 30 years on appeal after she claimed what happened was “an accident”.
Truong My Lan (pic) had already lost a challenge against the death penalty in a separate case in which she was found guilty in April last year of stealing money from Saigon Commercial Bank (SCB) and fraud amounting to US$27bil (RM119bil).
