Court for publishing gazette showing Falu fugitive

A court in Dhaka on Thursday ordered authorities concerned to publish gazette on newspaper, showing former BNP lawmaker Mosaddek Ali Falu "fugitive" in a case filed over allegedly laundering Taka 183.92 crore to Dubai through offshore company.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order, setting May 23 for submitting report on executing the order.

On December 13, 2021, the court accepted the charge-sheet against Falu and two other accused in the case. The court on that day issued arrest warrant against him as he was shown fugitive in the charge sheet. But as the police failed to arrest the accused, court today came up with the latest order.

The two other accused in the case are SAK Ikramuzzaman, and Syed AK Anwaruzzaman. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the charge-sheet on September 30, 2021.

According to the case documents, the three accused in 2010 launched offshore companies in Dubai named Al-Madina International Limited, Three Star Limited and Development UAE, and laundered around Taka 183.92 crore from Bangladesh.

The ACC on May 13, 2019, filed the case with Uttara West Police Station.
