Money Laundering Case
Destiny management body member held
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) arrested Abul Kalam Azad, a management committee member of the Destiny Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd (DMCSL), from his residence at Paltan early yesterday.
ACC officials said they arrested Azad with the help of Paltan police around 2:30am.
Earlier on July 31, the ACC filed two money laundering cases against 22 top persons of the Destiny Group, involving Tk 3,285.26 crore. Azad is one of the 22 accused in the cases.
Police produced Azad before Metropolitan Magistrate Hasibul Haque's court which sent him to jail.
The metropolitan magistrate passed the order as the Lower Court Record (LCR) did not reach the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court from the Sessions Judge's Court.
On August 13, the Sessions Judge's Court called for the LCR as the ACC appealed for cancellation of bail of five Destiny high officials including its chairman and managing director that was by the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court of Dhaka on August 6.
