Earlier on August 20, the High Court scrapped Amin’s bail plea and ordered concerned authorities to dispose off his cases within the next six months. Amin later appealed to the Appellate Division against the High Court order rejecting his bail. The High Court had denied bail to Md Rafiqul Amin on July 22, and postponed the petition until regular court resumed amidst the government-declared general holidays. On July 31, 2012, the ACC filed two cases against Destiny officials, including Md Rafiqul Amin, accusing them of money laundering and embezzlement. ACC Deputy Director Mozahar Ali Sarder filed a case against 12 Destiny Group officials for laundering Tk2,106.64 crore out of Destiny’s tree plantation project.
