Judgement in graft case against Alamgir July 26

Friday, 20 July 2007


The judgment in the graft case facing detained former state minister Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir will be delivered on July 26, reports UNB.
Judge Shahed Noorudin of the special make-shift court at Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in the city, trying high-profile corruption suspects, set the date Thursday after closing arguments made by Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) and defence lawyers.
The anti-graft watchdog sued Alamgir, a bureaucrat-turned-politician of Awami League (AL), on charge of amassing wealth worth Tk 11.7 million (1.17 crore) 'by illegal means'.
He is among a lot of politicians like former ministers and lawmakers, business tycoons and bureaucrats being herded up and put to trial under a purge in the apolitical interim period.
