Former police official arreste

Vietnamese police arrested Wednesday a former police lieutenant colonel for brokering bribes in a massive corruption scandal centered around a transport ministry agency.
Nguyen Dinh Toan has been charged with receiving $9,500 and VND50 million ($3,100) from the former head of PMU-18, the ministry agency, to influence the investigation into his activities.

A probe into the agency’s affairs unearthed massive corruption causing losses of hundreds of billions of dong in public funds ($1=VND16,000).

The police are also seeking an arrest warrant for another former police lieutenant colonel, Do Huy Kim, for receiving bribes of $20,000 to help Dung evade investigation.
