Enamul Haque Enu and Rupon Bhuiyan
The Anti-Corruption Commission on Tuesday filed charge sheets against suspended Awami League leaders Enamul Haque and his brother Rupon Bhuiyan in two cases filed on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth around Tk 85 crore through casino business.
Enamul was vice-president of the Gendaria thana unit of the Awami league while Rupon was its joint secretary before the suspension.
Enamul is also a former director of the Dhaka Wanderers Club.
ACC investigation officer Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury submitted the charge sheets against them to the Dhaka Senior Special Judge’s Court, general recording officer of the court Julfiquer Hossain told New Age.
He also said that the charge sheets would be placed before judge KM Imrul Kayes for the next procedure on August 29.
On June 10, the Anti-Corruption Commission at a meeting approved the charge sheets against the siblings.
ACC secretary M Anwar Hossain Hawlader on the day told reporters that the commission approved a charge sheet against Enamul on charges of owning illegal wealth worth Tk 47.36 crore through unlawful business operations, including casino business.
The ACC investigation also found that Enamul’s close aides — Harun-or-Rashid and Abul Kalam Azad — helped him earn illegal wealth to the tune of Tk 4 crore, said the secretary.
Another charge sheet was approved by the anti-graft commission against Rupon as it found him possessing illegal wealth worth Tk 37.57 crore.
Anowar said that Rupon owned wealth worth Tk 42.93 crore whereas they found his income from legal sources to be only Tk 5.36 crore.
Rupon amassed the illegal wealth from casino business at the Dhaka Wanderers Club, said the ACC official.
Earlier in October 2019, the ACC filed two cases — one against Enamul for amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 21.89 crore and the other against Rupon for having unlawful wealth worth Tk 14.12— with its integrated district office in Dhaka.
The brothers were arrested at a rented flat in Keraniganj where they had been hiding after law enforcers launched drives on illegal casinos, bars, spas and graft in January 2019.
