block
Court Correspondent :
A Dhaka court yesterday deferred submission of arrest reports against 46 officials of Destiny Group in two cases filed for swindling of investors’ money amounting to
 Tk 4,119 crore to August 13 as the prosecution could not submit the reports on Sunday.
Earlier, on June 11, Dhaka’s Metropolitan Sessions Judge Md Jahurul Haque issued arrests warrants against the fugitive officials of the Destiny Group. On the day, the court had directed the Officer-in-Charges of the concerned Police Stations to submit the arrest reports against the fugitives by July 13.
Four top officials of Destiny Group, including Managing Director Rafiqul Amin and Director Mohammad Hossain, are now in jail custody, while Destiny Group President (retired) Lieutenant General Harunur Rashid is on bail.
On May 4, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) submitted charge sheets of the two cases to the court. On January 16, the ACC approved the submission of the charge sheets in the two cases against 51 officials of Destiny Group for their alleged swindling of investors’ money.
The ACC submitted charge sheet in one case against 19 Destiny officials, including the 12 sued earlier for misappropriation of Tk 2108.64 crore from the Destiny Tree Plantation Limited project.
Charge sheet was submitted against a total of 46 Destiny officials in another case, while 14 officials were made accused in both cases.
On July 31, 2012, the ACC filed two money-laundering cases against Destiny 2000 Limited President Harunur Rashid, Managing Director Rafiqul Amin and 20 others on charge of misappropriating investors’ money amounting to Tk 3,385 crore.
