Nguyen Van Trinh, assistant to a deputy prime minister, was detained Wednesday for alleged power abuse as Vietnam continued investigation into a massive Covid test kit scam.

 

Trinh has been put under criminal investigation for "abuse of power or position in performance of official duties" as police expanded their investigation into the Covid test kit scandal involving Viet A Technology Corporation, the Ministry of Public Security said.

 

Authorities said Trinh had illegally abused his position to make officials in the Ministry of Health grant Vietnam registration number of its Covid-19 test kit without following application protocols. This helped Viet A easily sell test kits across the country, causing serious damage to the state budget.
