Person is innocent until found guilty: Prof Yunus
Dr Muhammad Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank, on Saturday said a
person is innocent until found guilty. Allegations might be raised
against someone, but no one should be deemed guilty until it is
proven, Yunus, also a Nobel laureate, said on his arrival at Shahjalal
International Airport in the capital from France in the morning, Desh
TV reports.
A documentary, titled "Fanget i Mikrogjeld" or "Caught in Micro debt",
was aired on Tuesday on the National Norwegian Television, NRK,
brought allegations that Grameen Bank (GB) had transferred about $100
million it received from donors to Grameen Kalyan in 1996 and then got
back the money as loan in breach of agreement. This led to a spat
between the Norwegian government and Grameen Bank.
On Wednesday, Norwegian Minister for Environment and International
Development Erik Solheim clarified that Grameen Bank had not embezzled
the donor's funds or used the money for unintended purposes
