The Globe-Janakantha Group chairman, Atiqullah Khan Masud, also editor and publisher of the daily Janakantha, was again on Sunday jailed for seven years on another fraudulence charge.
Khandaker Kamaluzzaman, judge of the special judge’s court 9 set up on the Jatiya Sangsad complex to try high-profile corruption suspects, also sentenced Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha authorised officer Fauzi-Bin-Farid to seven years’ imprisonment in the same case.
The court also fined the two Tk 9.36 crore. The court ordered both Masud and Fauzi to pay the fine jointly or to serve six more months in jail in case of failure to pay the fine.
The Anti-Corruption Commission on September 30, 2007 filed the case with the Motijheel police accusing Masud, arrested by the joint forces on March 7, 2007, and Fauzi of having roles in approving the design of a 15-storey building on the Outer Circular Road illegally.
On March 6, 9 and 20 Masud was sentenced to imprisonment for a total of 21 years, seven years each in three cases on fraudulence charges.
He was also jailed on April 3 for 13 years for amassing illegal wealth and hiding assets in his wealth statement submitted to the commission.
