Seven additional witnesses were cross-examined in a corruption case involving former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed and 35 others, accused of embezzling around Tk 25 crore from United Commercial Bank. The cross-examinations took place on Tuesday at the Chattogram Divisional Special Judge Court, presided over by Judge Mizanur Rahman, where defense lawyers questioned the witnesses.
Earlier, on April 21, ten witnesses testified on behalf of the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), bringing the total number of witnesses examined so far to eighteen, including the complainant, according to ACC public prosecutor Mokarram Hossain. The court has scheduled the next hearing for May 20.
The ACC filed the charge sheet on January 7 against Javed, his wife Rukmila Zaman, and 34 others for alleged embezzlement and money laundering. Court sources said Javed is currently in London with his family and remains absconding. Legal procedures are ongoing to take action against the fugitives.
