Khánh Trắng (literally translated as "White Khanh") was the President of Dong Xuan Labor Union.
Described as a cold-blooded assassin with an elegant appearance, Khanh Trang was the president of the Labor Union during his heyday, in which he ruled the trading in Dong Xuan market area (Hanoi).
From a young age, Khanh lived with his mother and his half-sister on Kim Ma street (Ba Dinh district, Hanoi).
From there, Khanh began to form a gang of about three dozen juniors, all of whom were criminals, to transport goods in order to make a living.
Three months later, the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem district gave Khanh permission to handle the loading and unloading services in the market.
At first, the team's handling of loading and unloading services was quite nice, and they even received praise by government leaders who saw the organization as a good example to follow.
Misusing his power as the chairman of the Worker's Union, Khanh became a dictator around the Dong Xuan region, as he forced the businesses there to pay taxes and punished whoever didn't abide by his draconian policies.
Small businesses that refused to allow Khanh's officers to load their goods were physically beaten by the gang.
As a result, Khanh began to encroach to the areas around the bus station and Long Bien market, which was under the control of Hung Cuba.
However, by using his ill-gotten gains for charitable acts, Khanh earned a good reputation as a kind-hearted benefactor, which helped him to conceal his illegal activities.
That night, Khanh summoned the young men who were involved in the fight to his mother's home on Ton Duc Thang street, where he threatened them to pin the blame on Vu Quoc Dung as the one who robbed Dat's knife and killed him.
Meanwhile, during the search of Khanh's house after his arrest, public security agencies obtained documents which proved that his revenue in 8 days was nearly 110 million.
On 13 October 1998, Duong Van Khanh was executed by the firing squad at Cau Nga shooting range in Hanoi, putting an end to his reign.
