Vietnam set to widen graft probe of US$16 billion airport project

Vietnam's Government Inspectorate has recommended expanding the investigation into alleged bidding violations at the Long Thanh International Airport project, a US$16 billion infrastructure initiative. The probe, which has already resulted in the detention of multiple executives from companies linked to the project, is set to widen. The recommendation signals an escalation in anti-corruption efforts related to one of Vietnam's largest infrastructure projects. The article, published by The Business Times on July 29, 2026, indicates ongoing scrutiny of procurement processes at the airport construction site.
