A Dhaka court has fixed August 3 for submitting a probe report in a case filed against former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar (SK) Sinha and his brother Ananta Kumar Sinha over allegedly buying by laundered money a three-storey house in the US, reports BSS.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order on Wednesday as the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), which is invastinating into the case, failed to submit the report.
The anti-graft watchdog on March 31 filed the case under sections 4 (2) and 4 (3) of the money laundering prevention act and section 5 (2) of the ACC Act.
According to the case documents, Ananta bought the house for his brother at a cost of around Taka 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.
