If I withdraw my denunciation, will denunciation settlement terminate in Vietnam?
If I withdraw my denunciation, will denunciation settlement terminate in Vietnam? Because my friend was accused in the past, but the denouncer withdrew the application and the agency continued to investigate like this, is it correct?

Pursuant to Article 33 of the 2018 Law on Denunciations, withdrawal of denunciations is as follows:
1. The denouncer may totally or partially withdraw a denunciation before the denunciation handler gives a conclusion on the denunciation. The denunciation shall be withdrawn in writing.
2. In case the denouncer partially withdraws the denunciation, the remaining shall be settled as prescribed by this Law. In case the denouncer totally withdraws the denunciation, Point a Clause 3 Article 34 of this Law shall be complied with. In case multiple denouncers make a denunciation while one or several denouncers withdraw the denunciation, it continues to be settled as prescribed by this Law. The person who has withdrawn the denunciation cannot enjoy the rights and does not have to fulfill the obligations specified in Article 9 of this Law, except in the case specified in Clause 4 of this Article.
3. In case the denouncer withdraws the denunciation and the denunciation handler deems that the denounced act is suspected of violating the law or there are grounds to confirm that the denouncer is threatened or bribed to withdraw the denunciation or the denouncer makes use of the denunciation to slander, insult or cause damage to the denounced party, the denunciation must be still settled.
4. The denouncer withdraws the denunciation but there are grounds to confirm that the denouncer makes use of the denunciation to slander, insult or cause damage to the denounced party, he/she shall still take responsibility for his/her denunciation and provide compensation for any damage as prescribed by law.
5. The Government shall elaborate this Article.
Thus, in case the denunciation has been withdrawn but the denunciation settler finds that the denunciation is illegal, it can still continue to settle the denunciation. In the above case, the continuation of the denunciation settlement is in accordance with the provisions of law in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
