A court here today set January 3 for submitting a probe report
in a case filed against Grameen Telecom Chairman and Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad
Yunus and 12 others for allegedly embezzling Taka 25 crore from the company.
Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge Asaduzzaman set the date
afresh as the investigation agency Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) failed to
submit the report today.
On May 30, Deputy Director of the ACC Md Gulshan Anwar filed
the case with its integrated district office Dhaka-1.
The other accused in the case are-- Grameen Telecom Managing
Director Nazmul Islam, directors Ashraful Hasan, Naznin Sultana, Parvin Mahmud,
Md Shahjahan, Nurjahan Begum and SM Huzzatul Islam Latifee, Sramik-Karmachari
Union President Md Kamruzzaman and General Secretary Firoz Mahmud Hasan,
lawyers Zafrul Hasan Sharif and Yusuf Ali and representative Md Mainul Islam.
According to the case documents, a decision was made at the
company's 108th board meeting, presided over by Dr Yunus on May 9, 2022, to
open a bank account at the Gulshan branch of Dhaka Bank Limited. But, it was found
that the account was opened a day before the decision was even made.
More than Taka 26 crore was transferred to the account on
different occasions, as per 'fake settlement agreements' and the decision of the
board. But before even distributing the share of the company's profit to the workers,
and letting them know, the accused embezzled around Taka 25 crore from the
fund._BSS
