Destiny Director Didarul on 8-day remand

A Dhaka court on Sunday granted an eight-day remand for Lt Col (retd) Didarul Alam, a director of the controversial Destiny Group, in one of the two money laundering cases filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission.

Metropolitan Magistrate Tanvir Ahmed passed the order after Anti-Corruption Commission Deputy Director Mojahar Ali Sardar produced him before the court with a 10-day remand prayer.

Didarul was arrested at the capital's Mohakhali on Saturday in connection with the cases.

Destiny, which started its journey in 2000 through multi-level marketing business with just Tk 12 lakh paid-up capital, ended up with an ACC charge that its top officials laundered Tk 3,285.26 crore.

Accordingly, the ACC filed two cases with Kalabagan Police Station on July 31 against Destiny Group's 22 top officials including Didarul over the laundering.
