A court here today framed charges against former managing
director of NRB Global Bank Proshanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder and 13
others in a case lodged for allegedly amassing illegal wealth and laundering
money abroad.
Judge Mohammad Nazrul Islam of Dhaka Special Judge Court-10
framed the charges against the accused dismissing their exemption appeal.
Also, the court fixed 22 September for testifying the
witnesses.
Apart from Halder, the other 13 accused in the case are- Lilabati
Halder, Purnima Rani Halder, Uttam Kumar Mistry, Amitabh Adhikari, Pritish
Kumar Halder, Rajib Som, Subrata Das, Ananga Mohan Roy, Swapan Kumar Mistry,
Avantika Baral, Shankha Bepari, Sukumar Mridha and Anindita Mridha.
Among them, Avantika Baral, Shankha Bepari, Sukumar Mridha
and Anindita Mridha are in jail.
Halder, along with five others, were detained in Ashoknagar
of the Indian state of West Bengal in the morning of May 14 this year.
According to the case, Halder and his other associates have embezzled
thousands of crores of Bangladeshi Taka and siphoned off to India and other
countries.
On March 1 last year, PK Halder fled Bangladesh through
Jashore's Benapole land port. According to media reports, PK Halder possessed
two passports -- one Bangladeshi and the other Canadian -- but he used his
Bangladeshi passport to go to India.
In January, 2021, the ACC filed five cases against 33
people, including Halder, for allegedly laundering over Tk 350 crore of
International Leasing and Financial Services Limited (ILFSL).
He had laundered about Tk 80 crore to Canada and amassed
about Tk 426 crore beyond his known sources of income, the case documents said.
