The court rejected her appeal, citing significant financial losses and legal complications regarding her seized assets.
Lan faces additional 20-year prison sentences for bribery and lending violations. She may have her sentence commuted to life imprisonment if she can repay around $11 billion. Her case is part of Vietnam's ongoing anti-corruption campaign, which has implicated several high-ranking officials.
