Tarique's ex-APS discharged from money laundering case

A Dhaka court discharged BNP's acting chairman Tarique Rahman's former personal assistant (APS) Mia Nuruddin Ahmed Opu from a money laundering case.

Judge Md Rezaul Karim of Dhaka Special Judge Court-10 passed the order as the court found no materials in the case to frame charges against Opu on Monday.

Monday was set for holding a hearing on charge framing. The defence filed the discharge petition, while the prosecution argued for indicting the accused. After hearing both sides, the court discharged the accused from the case.

According to the case document, on December 24, 2018, RAB raided an office in the City Centre of Motijheel and recovered a huge amount of money from there. RAB officials at the time alleged that the money was hoarded there to influence the then elections.

RAB-3 filed the case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012 with Motijheel Police Station.
