HC grants bail to Destiny boss Rafiqul Amin

The High Court yesterday granted ad-interim bail to Destiny Group managing director Rafiqul Amin and its director Mohammad Hossain in two money laundering cases.
A High Court bench of Justice Ruhul Quddus and Justice Bhishmadev Chakrabortty passed the order.  Both the men have been in jail since October 2012 in two cases involving misappropriation of Tk 3,285 crore.
Rafiqul is now under treatment at the BIRDEM hospital while Mohammad Hossain is in Dhaka Central jail, lawyers said.
Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) lawyer Advocate Khurshid Alam Khan said that the commission would move before the apex court against their bail. “We will file appeals with the Supreme Court against the High Court order that granted their bail in money laundering cases,” Khan said.
On July 31, 2012, ACC deputy director Mozahar Ali Sarder filed a case with Kalabagan Police Station accusing 12 Destiny-2000 Limited officials, including its chairman and managing director, of misappropriating over Tk 2,106 crore from a Destiny Tree Plantation Limited project.
On the same day, the commission’s assistant director Toufiqul Islam filed another case with the same police station accusing 22 Destiny officials of embezzling Tk 1,178 crore from the Destiny Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited.
