Chairman of the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) M Badiuzzaman on Wednesday said the charge-sheet in the much-talked-about Sonali Bank loan scam case will be submitted to the court within the next 15 days.“The ACC investigation teams made power-point presentations about the progress on Destiny scandal and Sonali Bank loan scam case at the Commission’s meeting recently. The ACC is happy over the progress of the investigation into the two cases,” he told reporters at the ACC head office in the capital.
Badiuzzaman said the ACC investigation team involved in probing the Sonali Bank loan scam will submit its investigation report to the Commission soon.
Earlier, on October 4, the ACC filed 11 cases against 27 Sonali Bank and Hall-Mark Group officials, including Hall-Mark Group managing director Tanvir Mahmud, its chairman Jesmine Islam and general manger Tushar Ahmed for embezzlement of Tk 1,568 crore (funded) from the Ruposhi Bangla branch of Sonali Bank.
The ACC chairman, however, said that it will take a little bit of time to submit the charge-sheet of Destiny swindling case as investigation into it still continues.
Asked why the key accused in the Padma Bridge graft case former bridge division secretary Musharraf Hossain Bhuiyan met him yesterday (Tuesday), he said Musharraf is an accused in the Padma Bridge graft case and he currently is on bail.
“Musharraf came to the ACC head office to make a curtsey call on the new Commission. Apart from me, two commissioners were present on the occasion,” he said.
Badiuzzaman said the suspension order against Musharraf as a secretary has been withdrawn. “Besides, there’s no legal bar to meet us,” he said. – UNB
