Trinh Van Quyet, chairman of property and leisure company FLC Group and Bamboo Airways, is also accused of hiding stock transaction information, the ministry said in a statement.

FLC, which owns dozens of resorts and golf courses throughout the country, didn’t immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

According to the ministry, Quyet sold 74.8 million shares of FLC on Jan. 10 without notifying market authorities as required.

FLC shares closed down 7% on Tuesday at 12,650 dong apiece.
