A former Albany police officer, who is also a Navy intelligence officer, has been charged in a multimillion-dollar bribery case in which he allegedly sold tourist visas to Vietnamese citizens while working as a foreign service officer at a U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, the former Saigon.
The federal complaint accuses Sestak of conspiring with at least five people, including the director of a multinational company in Vietnam, to sell tourist visas to possibly hundreds of Vietnamese citizens who paid as much as $50,000 to $70,000 each to enter the United States. One of the alleged conspirators, Hong Vo, is the sister of the unidentified man who runs the multinational company in Ho Chi Minh City. Vo is a 27-year-old U.S. citizen who was born and raised in Colorado and is a 2008 graduate of the University of Denver, according to court records.
