ACC sends list of 116 graft convicts to NCC
Monday, 20 October 2008
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent to the National Coordination Committee (NCC) on serious crime and corruption a list of individuals who have been convicted by the lower courts in graft cases. The list of the convicts was sought from the anti-graft body last Monday.
"Yes, the list was sent at noon today. The list contained 100 cases involving 116 individuals," ACC director general (admin) Col Hanif Iqbal said. The list has been sent without any comment, as when the list was sought the ACC was not given any reason for asking for the list. Responding to a question, the ACC spokesperson said, "We have sent the list to NCC and if they want to send it to somewhere else they can do so." The list was sought amid controversy over participation of convicts in the upcoming elections. — UNB
