Court orders seizure of Golden Monir’s bank accounts

A Dhaka court on Tuesday ordered the seizure of 170 bank accounts of three people, including Monir Hossain alias Golden Monir in connection with a case of money laundering, reports UNB.

The other two people are Sirajganj sadar upazila chairman Riaz Uddin and the councillor of Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) ward no. 44 Shafiqul Islam alias Shafiq.

Dhaka Metropolitan senior special judge KM Imrul Kayes passed the order following a plea of the investigating officer of the case, CID inspector of police Mohammad Chadek Ali, over the account seizures of these three people.

On 11 May, CID inspector Ibrahim Hossain filed the case against 10 people including Raushan Akter, wife of Golden Monir and his son Rafi Hossain.

Last year on 10 December, Golden Monir was sent to jail after being remanded for 27 days in three separate cases under the Arms, special powers and narcotics law.
