Chief Prosecutor Aminul Islam has announced that an internal investigation will be conducted into an alleged bribery incident involving a former prosecutor of the International Crimes Tribunal. The allegation surfaced after an audio recording was leaked, claiming that the prosecutor demanded one crore taka from the family of an imprisoned Awami League leader in exchange for securing bail. The accused prosecutor, Md. Saimum Reza Talukder, resigned three days before the government accepted his resignation and issued a formal notification on Monday.
Talukder denied the allegation and told BBC Bangla that he would face any legal process initiated by the government. The case in question involves former Awami League MP ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury from Chattogram-6, whose war crimes case investigation has been completed and is awaiting submission to the tribunal. The case has not yet reached the charge-framing stage.
The report also recalls a previous incident where former prosecutor Turin Afroz was removed from her position for allegedly meeting secretly with an accused during the trial of 1971 war crimes cases.
