A Dhaka court has sentenced expelled Awami League leader Enamul Haque Enu and his brother Rupun Bhuiyan to ten years in prison each in a money laundering case filed under the Money Laundering Prevention Act at Wari Police Station. The court also fined them Tk 64.62 crore, with an additional six months of imprisonment in default of payment. The verdict was delivered on Wednesday afternoon by Judge Nure Alam Bhuiyan of Dhaka Special Judge Court-6. Eight other accused were acquitted due to lack of evidence, according to Public Prosecutor Md. Selim Khan.
