DHAKA, Sept 27, 2020 (BSS) – The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court (SC) today scrapped a plea for bail of Destiny Group Managing Director (MD) Rafiqul Amin in two separate cases lodged under money-laundering prevention act.

“Dismissed,” said the order passed by a four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain.

The apex court had set today to pass order on the matter after holding hearing on the plea on September 24. Advocate Said Ahmed Raza moved the bail plea for Amin, while Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) counsel Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan opposed the plea.

The High Court on August 20 had ordered authorities concerned to dispose of within next six months the two money laundering cases against Destiny Group Managing Director Rafiqul Amin and Destiny-2000 Limited Chairman Mohammad Hossain.

The High Court on that had also binned Rafikul Amin’s bail plea in the cases.

ACC filed the two cases with Kalabagan Police Station on July 31, 2012, for laundering abroad the money of the depositors.
