Staff Correspondent
The High Court will deliver a verdict today on an appeal against the acquittal of BNP Senior Vice Chairman Tarique Rahman and on another of his friend Giasuddin Al Mamun against his conviction and sentence in a money laundering case.
The HC yesterday fixed the date, as it concluded hearing on the appeals on June 16.
The Anti- Corruption Commission filed the case in 2009 for siphoning the money to Singapore between 2003 and 2007. On November 17, 2013, a Dhaka court acquitted Tarique and sentenced Mamun to seven years' imprisonment and fined him Tk 40 crore in the case.
Later, ACC appealed to the HC, challenging Tarique's acquittal.
