Two Birkin bags and a luxury yacht are among the assets belonging to embattled tycoon Truong My Lan that Vietnamese authorities are now trying to sell as part of efforts to offset the billions she embezzled.
The disgraced tycoon is serving a life sentence for embezzling from a major Vietnamese bank and has been ordered to return $27bn (£19bn) in reparations.
Ho Chi Minh City's Civil Judgment Enforcement Agency said this week that it was seeking experts to appraise the value of two crocodile skin Hermès Birkin bags seized from Truong My Lan, local media reported.
Meanwhile her yacht is set to go on auction next month with a starting price of 49.3 billion Vietnamese dong ($1.9m; £1.4m).
Truong My Lan was sentenced to death in April 2024 after a court found that she had secretly controlled Saigon Commercial Bank, the country's fifth biggest lender, and taken out loans and cash over more than 10 years through a web of shell companies, amounting to a total of $44bn.
