Vietnam jails ex-oil exec for life over graft

A court in Vietnam sentenced one former official from state oil and gas group PetroVietnam to life in prison and another to 13 years on Monday for embezzlement and violating state rules amid a widespread corruption crackdown, state media said.

Dinh La Thang, a former politburo official and the most senior Vietnamese politician to be tried in decades, was jailed for 13 years for violating state rules, the state-run Voice of Vietnam said.

Trinh Xuan Thanh, a high-profile official whom Germany said Vietnamese agents kidnapped in a Berlin park in a scene reminiscent of Cold War disappearances, was sentenced to life in prison for embezzlement and violating state rules.

Their sentencing marked the conclusion of the trial of 22 people, all of whom are connected to PetroVietnam. More trials are expected to continue this year as part of a crackdown that the government says is targeting fraud and mismanagement.

　取り上げる単語は"embezzlement"です。『ジーニアス英和辞典』第４版（大修館）で調べてみると、「（基金などの）使い込み、横領」とありました。因みに動詞は"embezzle"で、"er"形の名詞"embezzler"には「横領者」という意味があります。LDOCEでは、"to steal money from the place where you work"と定義されています。また、見出しにある"graft"にも「汚職、賄賂、横領」などの意味がありますが、ここでは「つらい仕事、労働」という意味で使われています。(Akim)
