SENTENCED. TRUONG VAN CAM,
a.k.a. Nam Cam, 56, Vietnam's most notorious
crime lord; to death for charges ranging from bribery to murder; in Ho
Chi Minh City. Cam's gambling, prostitution and racketeering empire was
reportedly pulling in about $2 million a month when he was
arrested in December 2001. The case exposed the link between organized
crime and the ruling Communist Party. At the trial the 155 defendants
included 18 officials, most on Cam's payroll. Three were senior Party
cadres who have been sentenced to four to 10 years in jail.
