Dhaka, Jan 28 (bdnews24.com) – Controversial businessman Giasuddin Al Mamun secured bail from the High Court on Thursday in a Tk 20 crore (Tk 200 million) money-laundering case.
The bench of justices Syed Muhammad Dastagir Husain and Md Rais Uddin granted the bail. With it, Mamun has secured bail in all 21 cases filed against him, his lawyer said.
Lawyer Sabbir Hamza Chowdhury said now there is no bar to his client's release from jail.
The Anticorruption Commission filed the case against Mamun, a close friend of BNP senior vice-president Tarique Rahman, in October last year with Dhaka Cantonment police station.
Mamun faced a number of cases filed during the anticorruption purge of the past caretaker government, which is widely believed to have been military-backed.
