Those accused of corruption must have paid full compensation for their violations to be considered for amnesty this year, the public security ministry said.

At a Monday ceremony on this year's amnesty, Nguyen Van Long, Deputy Minister of Public Security, said criminals that "violated economic management orders and misused their positions" must "complete their civil responsibilities" before they could be considered for amnesty on National Day (Sep. 2) this year.

This is the second year in a row that Phuc would grant amnesty, and also the second where those accused of corruption must have compensated for their crimes before they could be considered for amnesty.
