| 3 more graft suspects submit wealth reports |
| 2007-03-30 |
| Three more high profile corruption suspects yesterday submitted wealth statements to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) through their representatives following a High Court (HC) order. They had defied the ACC's instructions to submit wealth statements in person within the stipulated time. Representatives of Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan (Shah Alam), Awami League (AL) leader Jahangir Kabir Nanak and former AL lawmaker Mirza Azam submitted the statements. On February 18, the ACC asked 50 high profile graft suspects including these three to submit wealth statements within 72 hours. The commission categorically instructed those who were not in jail to submit those in person. Fifteen out of the 50 people did not submit their statements, and some of them sought the HC's directive to allow them to submit those through their representatives. |
