Magistrate Imrul Qayes of Dhaka’s Sixth Special Judge's Court framed the charges against Moudud on Wednesday and fixed Jul 26 for hearing depositions.
Moudud’s lawyer Taherul Islam Touhid has cited lack of confidence in the judge. “He pressed charges without even reading them out loud to the defendant present in the dock. We have submitted an application citing our lack of confidence in the judge.”
ACC Deputy Director Shariful Hoque Siddiqui started the case against Moudud, a standing committee member of the BNP, when the country was under the state of emergency in 2007.
The ACC alleged that Moudud amassed wealth worth over Tk 73.8 million through illegal means and concealed information about wealth worth over Tk 44 million from the commission.
