It was returned to the company on March 4, three days after a regular government meeting where the prime minister asked local authorities to not accept expensive cars as gifts.
The municipal Party Committee denied reports by local media last month saying that the car had a fake license plate and cost more than 2.5 billion VND, far exceeding the limit of 1VND.1 billion for vehicles allocated to provincial officials as regulated in Article 5 of Clause 2 of Decision 32/2015/QD-TTg dated August 4, 2015.
It said the car got the plate issued by the Ministry of Public Security and costs about VND1.3 billion, including taxes, according to its receipt.
