A court will decide on Jun 12 whether to indict Nobel laureate and Grameen Telecom Chairman Dr Muhammad Yunus in a case over the embezzlement of Tk 252.2 million from dividends for the company’s employees. The court of Dhaka 4th Special Judge Syed Arafat held a three-and-a-half hour hearing on the charges against Yunus and 13 others on Sunday. He was removed as its managing director in 2011 over his age. They include Grameen Telecom’s Director Parveen Mahmud, Managing Director Md Nazmul Islam, Director and former managing director Md Ashraful Hassan; Nazneen Sultana, Md Shahjahan, Noorjahan Begum, and Director SM Hazzatul Islam Latifi. However, the ACC lawyer challenged the argument, saying that the case in question was not about the Tk 4.37 billion settlement.
