Vietnam’s Politburo has issued a disciplinary “warning” to former parliament chairman Vuong Dinh Hue for violating anti-corruption regulations, underscoring the ruling Communist Party’s determination to continue its crack down on graft.

Hue violated regulations related to anti-corruption work and rules governing the behavior of party members, causing “serious” consequences and damaging the party and the state’s reputation, according to a posting on the party’s news website.
