Hanoi Mercedes-Benz property damage legal dispute

Overview

A legal dispute in Hanoi involves the intentional damage of a Mercedes-Benz GLC200 by Mai Thi Bich Van following a disagreement over vehicle parking. A first-instance ruling by the District 4 People's Court in September 2026 sentenced Van to six months of suspended imprisonment for “intentionally damaging property” and ordered her to pay 671,000 VND in compensation.

Both parties have since filed appeals. Van is seeking to have her sentence reduced from suspended imprisonment to a fine. The vehicle owner is appealing for a reassessment of evidence and damages, specifically seeking compensation for lost rental income from a contract valued at 35 million VND per month, as well as alternative transportation costs. The victim is also requesting an investigation into the legal responsibility of Van’s husband and daughter.
