The decision was made at a meeting of the Political Bureau in Hanoi on April 11-12 under the chair of General Secretary of the CPV Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong.
According to the CPV Central Committee’s Inspection Commission, Cuong was found responsible for violations when holding the position as Secretary of the Party Committee, Director of the Department of Politics-Logistics and Deputy General Director of General Directorate V under the Ministry of Public Security during the 2009-2012 period.
He signed unlawful documents relating to the general directorate’s Hanoi-based Dai Kim housing project. This helped create loopholes which were taken advantage of by his inferiors to commit fraud and property appropriation, causing serious consequences.
During the meeting, the Political Bureau also gave opinions on some reports for submission to the upcoming seventh plenary meeting of the 12th Party Central Committee.
The reports focus on building a contingent of cadres, especially those at the strategic level with adequate virtues, capabilities and prestige for their tasks, reforming social insurance policies and salary reforms for officials, public servants, officers in the armed forces, and employees in businesses.-VNA
