Hearing on Tarique's case today

Staff Correspondent
The Supreme Court is set today for hearing an appeal filed by BNP leader Tarique Rahman against a High Court verdict in a money laundering case against him. The HC on September 29 last year rejected a writ petition filed by Tarique, senior vice- chairman of BNP, challenging the proceedings of the case. The Anti Corruption Commission filed the case on October 26, 2009 with a Dhaka court against Tarique and his business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun on charges of illegally sending Tk 20.41 crore to Singapore between 2003 and 2007.
