Khandaker Mosharraf charged with money laundering

The Dhaka Special Judges Court-1 on Wednesday charged BNP standing committee member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain, also former health minister, with money laundering.
The judge of the court, M Ataur Rahman, framed the charge rejecting Mosharraf’s petition for discharging him from the case, field by the Anti-Corruption Commission accusing him of laundering over Tk 9.54 crore to United Kingdom.
The court posted for November 29 the commencement of the formal trial with the recording of testimonies of the prosecution witnesses.
