Thumbs up Hasina to go on trial in warplane purchase case: Ekti bharshammo rokkhar ekanto procheshta

Hasina to go on trial in warplane purchase case
Star Online Report

The High Court today turned down the petitions for quashing a case against Awami League President and former prime minister Sheikh Hasina in which she is alleged to have benefited from buying MiG-29 warplanes during her tenure in office.

The court decision came as the government moved to activate the case which had been mothballed for years following another High Court order.

A division bench of Justice Nozrul Islam Chowdhury and Justice M Ataur Rahman Khan passed the orders, clearing the way for trial proceedings against Hasina and four former high officials.

The now defunct Bureau of Anti-corruption filed the case against them soon after the BNP-Jama'at alliance government swept to power in 2001.

The first information report (FIR) said the government incurred a loss of Tk 700 crore in the purchase.
