A PROPERTY tycoon trying to avoid a death sentence for multi-billion-dollar fraud has promised to turn her property empire into a “golden goose” to help pay back the assets she embezzled, her lawyer said.
Property developer Truong My Lan lost an appeal in December against the death penalty in a case in which she was found guilty of stealing money from Saigon Commercial Bank (SCB) and fraud amounting to US$27bil (RM116bil).
