Brushing aside the allegation that proper proceedings had not been followed in framing charges against Khaleda Zia and others in the Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust graft cases, public prosecutors said on Sunday the accused had bought time frequently seeking adjournment in hearing to defer the charge framing in the cases, reports UNB.
"Although the defence counsel took 33 times for adjournment during the last two years, they didn't get any stay order from the High Court. Thus the court framed charges against BNP Chairperson and others on Wednesday," ACC prosecutor Mosharraf Hossin Kajal told a press briefing at the ACC media centre on Sunday.
Director General of the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) Kamrul Hossain Mollah and prosecutor Mir Ahmed Alam also spoke at the press
briefing.
On March 19, a court here framed charges against Khaleda Zia, her son
Tarique Rahman and seven others overturning their time petitions in the Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust graft cases.
