Shamim Osman jailed for 3yrs in first-ever graft case verdict
2007-05-01
In the first-ever verdict in a case filed by the reformed Anti-corruption Commission (ACC), a Narayanganj court yesterday sentenced, in absentia, former Awami League (AL) lawmaker Shamim Osman to three years' imprisonment for not submitting wealth statements to the commission.

Included in the ACC's first list of suspected corrupt people, Osman was ordered in February by the commission to submit his, his wife's and wards' wealth statements. Senior Special Judge Abdul Kuddus Mia of Narayanganj district court delivered the verdict yesterday in a packed courtroom and the entire area cordoned off by security personnel. The verdict stated that Osman is guilty of not submitting the statement of his, his wife's and wards' moveable and immovable assets as ordered by the ACC.
