Money laundering: Samrat’s bail extended till Nov 8
GBNEWS24DESK//
A Dhaka court today (October 20, 2022) extended bail of expelled Jubo League leader Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat until November 8 in a case filed for laundering around Tk 222 crore and channeling it to casinos in Singapore and Malaysia between 2011 and 2018.
Judge Al Asad Md Asifuzzaman of the Special Judge’s Court-6 passed the order after Samrat’s lawyer Afroza Shahanaz Parvin Hira submitted an application seeking extension of bail in the case.
Samrat was present at the court during today’s hearing.
The lawyer filed another petition, seeking return of Samrat’s passport which was submitted during the time of furnishing bail bond on August 22 this year. However, the court did not pass any order on the petition.
On August 22, the same court granted ad-interim bail to Samrat considering his health condition. In the order, the judge said Samrat will have to submit his passport to the court while furnishing his bail bond.
Samrat walked out of jail following the bail order. He had been taking treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) since then.
