Yunus faces fresh fraud charges in Bangladesh

BANGLADESH'S hostile office last Thursday (1) submitted new debasement allegations against Nobel Prize champ financial specialist Dr Muhammad Yunus, days after a court conceded him bail for a situation for disregarding work regulations.

The Counter Debasement Commission (ACC) charged the 83-year-old financial expert and 13 others of misusing roughly $2.29 million (£1.82m) from the Grameen Telecom Laborers' Benefit Investment Asset.

Yunus is the director of Grameen Telecom - which he established in 1983 as a charitable association. Co-respondents for the situation incorporate its chiefs, overseeing chief and representatives' worker's guild chiefs.

"We have documented the charge sheet against him (Yunus) and 13 others before the Metropolitan senior unique appointed authority's court of Dhaka," an ACC representative told columnists.

The court has set Walk 3 for an arraignment hearing.

Regulation pastor Anisul Huq dismissed claims of irritating Yunus, saying the public authority created no bogus bodies of evidence against him.

"Dr Yunus was cautioned and encouraged to forestall these infringements, however he overlooked them. Thus, the Work Office recorded a claim," Huq said. "Nobody is exempt from the rules that everyone else follows, and assuming somebody perpetrates a wrongdoing, they should confront the law."
