    Maybe she didn’t bribe them well enough? She should’ve been buying officials rather than property like we do in the west.

      From the article:

      “She faced an array of charges along with her husband, Eric Chu Nap Kee, a billionaire Hong Kong real estate operator, and 85 co-conspirators, including lawyers and banking regulators from the capital of Hanoi, the seat of communist rule.”

      So, she did bribe officials. Probably pissed off the wrong one, though.
