Among those high-ranking police and military officials facing disciplinary measures, vice minister and former vice minister of the Public Security in name of Bui Van Thanh and Tran Viet Tan violated regulations on state secret protection.
The Inspection Commission of the Party Central Committee on July 27 announced disciplinary measures and notices against a number of military and police generals, due to their violations and wrongdoings, according to the commission's website.
The list included Lieutenent General Le Van Minh, general director of the General Department of Logistics and Engineering (known as General Department IV) under the Ministry of Public Security, member of the ministry's Central Party Committee and chief of the General Department's Party Committee.
According to the commission, Minh must bear the responsibility for wrongdoings and violations of the Party Committee's Standing Board, as well as personal responsibility for his own mistakes in performing assigned duties and tasks.
Lieutenant General Bui Xuan Son, former member of the Party Committee's Standing Board and former vice general director of General Department IV, has to take responsibility for letting violations take place when he was in charge.
Lieutenant General Bui Van Thanh, vice minister of Public Security and member of the ministry's Central Party Committee, violated regulations on state secret protection, and unlawfully signed documents proposing the sale of several properties and land lots that belonged to the ministry.
Senior Lieutenant General Tran Viet Tan, former vice minister of Public Security and former member of the ministry's Central Party Committee, was disciplined for his irresponsibility and failure in management.
