Dhaka court finally orders freezing Destiny Group and Destiny-2000 Ltd bank accounts,Bangladesh


BANGLADESH NEWS
A Dhaka court on Tuesday finally asked Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to freeze 252 bank accounts of Destiny Group and Destiny-2000 Ltd.

Judge Md Zahirul Haque of the Senior Special Judge's Court passed the order after a short hearing on the petitions filed by ACC Deputy Director Mojahar Ali Sardar and ACC Assistant Director Toufiqul Islam.

On Monday, Judge (in-charge) Md Akhtaruzzaman of the same court ordered the freeze but he withdrew the order just an hour later.

The ACC filed the petitions seeking permission for freezing the accounts so that the Destiny officials were not able to launder or transfer money to other accounts.

On September 12, Judge Md Akhtaruzzaman cancelled the bail of five Destiny Group officials, including its managing director Md Rafiqul Amin. But the regular judge, Md Zahirul Haque, stayed the cancellation order the next day.

The ACC on July 31 sued the Destiny officials on charges of siphoning off Tk 3,285.26 crore.

The multilevel company allegedly transferred crores of taka to their personal accounts from the company accounts.
