A Dhaka court on Sunday issued an arrest warrant against expelled Jubo League leader and casino kingpin Ismail Chowdhury Samrat, revoking his bail order in a Tk195 crore money laundering case.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Saifuzzaman passed the order, confirmed State Prosecutor Advocate Omar Faruq Faruqui.
He said that a petition was filed seeking cancellation of the court’s earlier order exempting Samrat from personal appearance.
During the hearing, it was said that Samrat had been involved in various terrorist activities and was engaged in acts against the interests of the state while out on bail. He had also left the country without the court’s permission.
In the same case, the other accused, Arman, who was also out on bail, failed to appear before the court multiple times, and the court also canceled his bail and issued an arrest warrant against him.
According to the case documents, Samrat allegedly laundered Tk195 crore abroad through his associate Enamul Haque Arman.
Between 27 December 2011 and 9 August 2019, Samrat travelled abroad 42 times—35 times to Singapore, three times to Malaysia, twice to Dubai, and twice to Hong Kong.
During the same period, Arman travelled to Singapore 23 times between 12 December 2011 and 18 May 2019.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) filed the case under the Money Laundering Prevention Act with Ramna Model Police Station on 13 September 2020.
