General Secretary To Lam, Head of the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption, Wastefulness, and Negative Practices, chaired a meeting of the committee’s standing board at the Party Central Committee headquarters this morning.
Since the 28th session on July 7, Party committees and competent agencies have stepped up coordination and delivered effective results, closely following directives and tasks, particularly the four key requirements and six tasks set by the General Secretary.
Anti-corruption and anti-waste efforts have been carried out rigorously and systematically, producing tangible results that have significantly contributed to Party building, political system integrity, and socio-economic development.

Since the last session, judicial agencies nationwide have prosecuted and investigated 443 cases with 1,488 defendants, indicted 470 cases with 1,296 defendants, and conducted first-instance trials of 512 cases with 1,266 defendants on charges related to corruption, economic, and position-related crimes.
For cases under the committee’s supervision, four new cases with 36 defendants were opened; an additional 60 defendants were charged in five existing cases; one case with nine defendants was concluded; one case with 28 defendants had its investigation supplemented; indictments were filed in five cases with 72 defendants; three cases with 73 defendants were tried at first instance; and two cases with four defendants were tried on appeal.
Two high-profile cases that drew strong public attention have already gone to trial.
The first involved bribery, abuse of power, exploiting influence for personal gain, accounting violations, and serious bidding violations at Phuc Son Group JSC, Thang Long Real Estate and Trading JSC, and related entities and localities.
The second involved abuse of position and power, exploiting influence for personal gain, and serious bidding violations at Thuan An Group JSC and affiliated organizations.
Authorities also intensified crackdowns on counterfeit and substandard goods, especially food, dietary supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Many organized crime groups operating under the cover of businesses and in collusion with corrupt officials have been dismantled, helping restore public confidence and safeguarding fair market practices.
The Central Inspection Commission and local inspection bodies have prioritized thematic checks and investigations. Since July, they have disciplined 13 Party organizations and 190 Party members.
The Party Central Committee, Politburo, Secretariat, and Central Inspection Commission have disciplined eight senior officials under their direct management, bringing the total to 19 senior officials disciplined since the beginning of the year. Eleven were sanctioned in connection with major cases under the steering committee’s oversight, and three have faced criminal prosecution.

The government and Prime Minister have reviewed and classified 2,991 delayed or stalled projects at risk of losses and waste. They have grouped them into seven categories with tailored solutions. Among them are 11 major projects directly handled by the Party Committee of the Government, including Ho Chi Minh City’s anti-flooding project, the Pham Van Dong–Go Dua highway connector in Thu Duc City, Can Tho Oncology Hospital, Vietinbank’s headquarters, and the second campuses of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital in Ha Nam, as well as a student housing project in Hanoi’s Phap Van - Tu Hiep urban area.
Additionally, authorities have completed reviews and solutions for 10,971 surplus public properties and land assets following administrative restructuring.
The Government Inspectorate has launched inspections into 563 projects plagued by delays, inefficiency, or risks of waste and loss. Preventive measures against corruption and waste are increasingly effective, integrated into the two-tier local government model, and aligned with socio-economic development goals.
The Central Inspection Commission has shifted its focus to proactive supervision and early prevention of violations, yielding positive results. Ministries and localities have also expanded digital transformation and technology use in governance, especially in two-tier local administrations and administrative services, reinforcing anti-corruption and anti-waste efforts.
