Providing detailed information about the conduct is the basis for determining the crime and its constituent elements.

Fill in detailed information about the status of Vietnamese criminal proceedings against the person sought for extradition, i.e., whether an arrest warrant has been issued and if so, whether it has already been executed or not?
