Communist Vietnam has some of the toughest drug laws in the world with courts routinely handing out death sentences for drug convictions.
Three were given the death penalty while one was jailed for life, VNExpress news site reported.
The ring was discovered transporting some of the drugs in April 2023. Trying to escape a police raid, their car hit a police official and two local residents.
