ACC files case against ex-CJ Sinha over owning home in US May 25

A court here today set May 25 for submitting a probe report in a case filed against former Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha, popularly known as SK Sinha, and his brother Ananta Kumar Sinha over allegedly owning a three-storied house in the US bought through money laundering.

Dhaka Metropolitan Sessions Judge KM Imrul Qayesh passed the order after accepting the first information report of the case.

Earlier, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed the case under the money laundering prevention act and anti-corruption act.

According to the case documents, Ananta bought the house for his brother at a cost of around Taka 2.40 crore. As the ACC couldn’t identify any legal source of the money paid for the home, it believes that the money was earned illegally or laundered abroad.
