Money-laundering
Case against Tarique deferred
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred till March 1 the hearing on taking into cognisance the charges against BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman and his business partner Giasuddin Al Mamun in a money laundering case.
Judge Mohammad Zohurul Haque of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order after Tarique's lawyer Zakir Hossain submitted a petition seeking adjournment of the hearing.
In the petition, Zakir mentioned that the Supreme Court (SC) earlier disposed of the leave-to-appeal petition saying that the charges brought against Tarique and Mamun were not maintainable under the Money Laundering Act 2009.
The trial proceedings of the case will be held under the Money Laundering Act 2002.
