ACC approves charge sheet against ex-minister Aminul Haque

The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) has approved charge sheet against former Post and Telecommunication Minister and BNP leader Barrister Aminul Haque and his brother-in-law in a money laundering case, reports UNB.

The Commission at its regular meeting Thursday approved the charge sheet, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB over phone Friday.

ACC sources said Barrister Aminul Haque helped the Siemens (a telecommunication company) to get work of BTTB's Teletalk Mobile and its network (an international tender of US$ 40 million) abusing his power when he was the Post and Telecommunication Minister.

Later, the ACC investigation found that Barrister Islam and his brother-in-law Mizanur Rahman, living in the USA, in collusion with each other took a bribe of US$ 17,08,145 from the company.

On June 7, 2012, ACC deputy director Toufiqul Islam filed the case with Ramna Model Police Station in this regard.

ACC deputy director Shahin Ara Momtaz investigated the case.
