A Dhaka court has acquitted BNP Standing Committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain in a case filed over money laundering.
Judge Abul Kashem of Dhaka Special Judge Court-1 passed the order on Thursday.
According to the case, Mosharraf concealed information about illegally amassing over £800,000, roughly equivalent to Tk95,395,380, by abusing his power as health minister during the 2001-2006 BNP government.
After the case had been filed, the former minister secured advance bail on February 10, 2014 from the High Court.
