Tarique gets seven years’ jail for money laundering

The High Court on Thursday sentenced Bangladesh Nationalist Party senior vice-chairman Tarique Rahman to seven years’ imprisonment with a fine of Tk 20 crore on charge of laundering money to Singapore.
A two-member HC bench of Justice M Enayetur Rahim and Justice Amir Hossain also upheld seven years’ conviction to Tarique’s friend Gias Uddin Al Mamun and reduced his fine to Tk 20 crore from Tk 40 crore imposed by the trial court on the same charge.
