HANOI (Reuters) - Police in Vietnam on Tuesday arrested a former chairman of one of the country's largest mobile carriers and a senior official of the Ministry of Information and Communications on allegations of economic mismanagement, as the communist-led government widens a crackdown on corruption.
Le Nam Tra, former chairman of state-owned Mobifone Corp. and Pham Dinh Trong, head of the ministry's enterprise management department, were accused of "violating regulations on state capital management and usage, causing serious consequences," the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement.
