A Dhaka court yesterday recorded the cross-examination of Mohammad Ibrahim, deputy director of Anti-Corruption Commission in a money laundering case against businessman Giasuddin Al Mamun.
Mamun’s counsel Khairuzzman Liton cross-examined Mohammad Ibrahim, also the plaintiff in the case.
Earlier, ACC filed the case against Mamun, a business partner of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s elder son Tarique Rahman with the Cantonment police station on September 22, 2011 for siphoning off £418,853 to the United Kingdom.
ACC submitted a charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court in Dhaka on April 29, 2012, alleging that Mamun siphoned the money.
On April 29 last year, ACC submitted the charge sheet showing 13 people as prosecution witnesses in the case.
According to First Information Report (FIR), Mamun opened two accounts with a London branch of the NatWest Bank and laundered the money.
Of the total amount, £214,356 pounds were found in one of the accounts. The money was deposited between July 2003 and January 2005.
