Laundering Tk219 crore: ACC approves charge-sheet against Samrat

The Anti-Corruption Commission approved a charge-sheet against expelled Jubo League president Ismail Chowdhury Samrat, one of the casino kingpins in the capital, in a case filed for laundering Tk 219 crore to Singapore, Malaysia.

The anti-graft body gave the go-ahead to the submission of the charge-sheet to the trial court after a long investigation on Sunday.

Earlier on November 10, Samrat and his close aide Enamul Haque Arman were shown arrested in the case.

On September 13 this year, CID filed the case against the duo under the Money Laundering Act with Ramna Police Station.

In the case, it was alleged that Samrat siphoned off Tk 195 crore to Singapore and Malaysia illegally, with the help of his aide Enamul.

He came under the spotlight after Rab busted his illegal casino business at different sporting clubs in Dhaka and later was expelled from the Jubo League following his arrest.
