A court in Dhaka will deliver verdict on November 17 in a money-laundering case against BNP Senior Vice-Chairman Tarique Rahman and his close friend Giasuddin Al Mamun.
After completion of arguments from the prosecution and defence, Judge Md Motahar Hossain of the Special Judge's Court-3 today fixed the date.
This will be the first judgment in any case against Tarique, elder son of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on October 26, 2009 lodged the case with Cantonment Police Station against the duo on charge of laundering Tk 20.41 crore to Singapore between 2003 and 2007.
On May 26 this year, a Dhaka court cleared the way for the ACC to seek the help of Interpol to arrest Tarique Rahman, who is now in London for treatment, in connection with the case.
