A specialized tribunal in the capital will deliver verdicts against dozens of defendants accused of corruption in state property distribution, with former premier Sheikh Hasina and her children among those facing prosecution. Judge Mohammad Abdullah Al Mamun scheduled the rulings after lawyers completed final presentations in three consolidated proceedings.
Anti-corruption authorities initiated six separate investigations earlier this year regarding alleged misconduct in allocating residential parcels within development zones. Prosecutors submitted formal indictments against 47 individuals across the cases, which span multiple family members and associates of the ousted administration.
The tribunal issued arrest directives for defendants after they failed to respond to repeated summons. Trial proceedings advanced separately through two special courts handling the interconnected cases, which originated from complaints filed by deputy directors and assistant directors within the anti-graft commission during the opening weeks of the year.
