A court on Sunday set June 3 for submitting a probe report in a case filed against former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar (SK) Sinha and his brother Ananta Kumar Sinha for allegedly owning a three-storied house in the US bought allegedly through laundered money.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Mohammad Ash Shams Zaglul Hossain passed the order as investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) failed to submit the report on Sunday, reports BSS.
The ACC on March 31, 2022, filed the case under sections 4 (2) and 4 (3) of the money laundering prevention act and section 5 (2) of the anti-corruption act.
According to the case documents, Ananta bought the house for his brother at a cost of around Tk 2.40 crore. As the ACC couldn't identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh.
