Money Laundering
Court accepts charges against Mamun
A Dhaka court yesterday took into cognisance the money-laundering charges against businessman Giasuddin Al Mamun and transferred a corruption case filed against Col (retd) Oli Ahmed to another Dhaka court for its disposal.
Judge Md Zahurul Huq of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order in the money laundering case. During the hearing, Mamun, who is now in jail on various charges, was present in the court.
On April 29, this year, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) pressed charges against Mamun, a business partner of BNP's Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman, alleging that he had siphoned off 4,18,853 pounds to the UK.
Mamun who remains accused in 13 other cases, has already been convicted and sentenced to 20 years in jail in three cases, two of which were filed for corruption.
Trial of another money-laundering case filed against Mamun and Tarique is going on at the Special Judge's Court-3 of Dhaka.
