Ashraful might get the Highest punishment

Tribunal has sent all parties the final verdicts of the investigation via email. Who is at fault, who is not at fault and why; everything has been explained there in details. After the sanction hearing at 18th June punishment will be handed out. Khademul Islam led Tribunal have questioned ICC's ACSU role and the reasoning of the who is guilty and who is not. The funny thing is, they question ACSU's role yet one of the their key players (in the findings) Ashraful is about to face a severe punishment. He might be banned for life.

The Laywer of one of the defendant on match fixing saga Dhaka Gladiator's Managing Director Shihab C, Barister Nowaj M R C yesterday told that by breaking the BCB's 2.1.1 clause his client has been guilty of Match fixing. Shihab's fault/crime was providing the money thus has been accused of having a big role in match fixing. Ashraful has also been found guilty in breaking the 2.1.1 clause. Ashraful himself admitted that he took money to fix the matches. According to BCB's law the punishment is 5 years to life ban. It is being assumed that he will get the highest punishment. The two other accused Sri Lanka's Koisla Lukaracchi and New Zealand's Lou Vincent who have violated the clause 2.4.1. The punishment for this is 1 to 5 years ban. The punishment will be in play after the June 18 sanction hearing. Ashraful's British lawyer Yasmin Patel has asked the tribunal to delay the sanction hearing date. 4 lawyers will be present in the hearing to find out what sanctions will be imposed on the players. The 6 who has been freed from any charges may ask for compensation to the accusers (ACSU may be). Besides all this, the rest can also appeal against the verdict.

The entire role of ACSU has been critisized heavily in this verdict. Two members of ACSU Dhorombir Singh and England's Peter Oshie might have made it easy for the match fixing to happen - the verdict states. Their role was the reason why some of the role players in this fixing saga couldn't be proved. From of one the sources it has been found out that between Dhaka Gladiators and Barishal Burners match, Ashraful has been accused of batting really slow according to ACSU's report; however, in the same match, Sri Lanka's T Dilshan batted even slower than Ashraful. When Tribunal asked why Dilshan's name was not there, ACSU couldn't give any satisfactory answer. For this ACSU's chairman have asked forgiveness to the tribunal.

Against several others ACSU purposely didn't give any evidence. Dhaka Gadiator's English Coach Ian Pont is one of them. Tribunal repeatedly asked to know retails (role) about him. With no response, Tribunal sent letters to ICC three times but they (tribunal) didn't get any satisfactory answer from them (ICC) either. After trying so hard, the reason of no information on Pont's role have been found out. ACSU's officer Peter Oshie and Ian Pont are close friends. That is why he (Peter) didn't let any harm touch him (Pont) [Very difficult to translate]. In the verdict, the biggest accusation against ACSU is, knowing before hand they (ACSU) didn't take any steps to prevent it.

That is the whole article.

This is the biggest pile of **** I have ever read and the worst kind of yellow journalism.

Pathetic
