Nguyễn Đức Kiên

Nguyễn Đức Kiên (born 1964) is a Vietnamese businessman[1][2] and owner and chairman of the Hanoi ACB football club.

[4] Kien's primary residence in Hanoi is a three-storey, 500 square meter villa, located on Xuan Dieu Street, Quang An ward, in Tay Ho (West Lake) district.

[8][9] Kien's arrest was followed by that of Ly Xuan Hai, who had just resigned his position as director general of ACB Bank.

[7] In June 2014, the People's Court convicted him for "fraud, tax evasion, illegal trade and 'deliberate wrongdoing causing serious consequences'" and was sentenced to 30 years in prison with a ₫75,000,000,000 fine.

[6] Kien and other defendants appealed their convictions, but in December 2014, an appellate court upheld them except ACB's former vice chairman Le Vu Ky's, which was reduced from five-year prison to two-year commutation.
