311

DHAKA, Jan 28, 2020 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today sentenced Destiny Group
Managing Director (MD) Rafiqul Amin to three-year imprisonment and fined him
Taka 50 lakh in a case lodged for not submitting his wealth statement to ACC.

Judge Shamim Ahammed of Dhaka 8th Special Judge Court passed the order
in presence of Rafiqul, who was produced before the court marking the
judgement.

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on June 16, 2016, gave Rafiqul a
notice to submit his wealth statement within next seven days. The accused,
who was in jail in another case at the time, failed to submit the statement
and instead pleaded for more time.

The ACC allowed him seven more days, but the result was the same as
Rafiqul failed to submit the wealth statement. The anti-graft body on
September 8, 2016, filed the case against him with capital’s Ramna Police
Station.

The ACC on June 6, 2017, filed charge sheet in the case and on March 12,
2018, framed charges against Rafiqul Amin. The court today came up with the
judgement after examining five witnesses on different occasions.
