ACC to sue Justice Fazlul's son, son-in-law, employee for graft
Friday, 12 September 2008
The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to file two graft cases against former Law Adviser Justice Fazlul Haque's son and one each against his son-in-law and an employee of a foundation under the name of the ex-adviser of the previous caretaker government (CG), reports UNB.
ACC director general (admin) Col Hanif Iqbal told the Commission's regular briefing Thursday afternoon that the anti-graft watchdog had approved the filing of four cases, including one under the Money Laundering Prevention Ordinance.
Sources said ACC assistant director Mohammad Ibrahim would file all the four cases Sunday.
The first case against Justice Fazlul's son Afzal Hossain Raj will be lodged for amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 14 million (1.4 crore) and concealment of information.
In a second one, Afzal will be accused of realising Tk 106.1 million (10.61 crore) from different persons in return for transferring them with the help of his father Justice Fazlul Haque.
Of that money, Tk 10 million (1.0 crore) was kept as fixed deposit. But, the remaining Tk 96.1 million (9.61 crore) was stashed into secret coffers. Therefore, he committed offence under the Money Laundering Prevention Ordinance.
The case will be filed under section 4(2) of the Money Laundering Prevention Ordinance 2008.
The ACC will file a case against Tariqul Rahman Prince, Justice Fazlul's son-in-law, accusing him of acquiring unearned wealth worth Tk 3.85 million (38.5 lakh).
Abdul Malek, an employee of Justice Fazlul Haque Foundation, will be sued for amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 4.7 million (47 lakh).
Col Hanif told newsmen in Thursday's regular briefing that the Commission also approved submission of charge sheets in two separate graft cases against Gopalganj Pourasava chairman Hasmat Ali Sikdar Chunnu.
