A court in Dhaka on Tuesday set April 6 for submitting the probe report in a case filed against former chief justice Surendra Kumar Sinha and his brother Ananta Kumar Sinha for allegedly owning a three-storey house in the US bought through laundered money.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Asaduzzaman set the date as the investigation agency, Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), failed to submit the report on Tuesday.
On March 31 last year, the ACC 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 could not identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered from Bangladesh.
