Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam announced that legal action will be taken if allegations against prosecutors of the International Crimes Tribunal are found to be true. He made the statement on Wednesday during a press conference at his office. A fact-finding committee was formed on Tuesday to investigate claims of unethical conduct involving members of the prosecution team or related individuals.

According to Aminul Islam, one complaint has already been received and is being treated with utmost seriousness. The committee will investigate whether any member of the prosecution team or associated person was involved in unethical activities. The Chief Prosecutor also stated that any other complaints related to the tribunal will be examined.

The controversy began after leaked WhatsApp call recordings of former prosecutor Saimum Reza Talukder surfaced. He allegedly demanded one crore taka from the family of former MP A.B.M. Fazle Karim Chowdhury, accused in a crimes against humanity case, in exchange for securing bail.
