A court in Dhaka has sentenced a suspended official of Sonali Bank to three years in jail in a case filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

Noni Gopal Nath, a general manager at the state-owned bank, has been found guilty of not complying with an ACC notice seeking his wealth statement.

On Sunday, the court of Dhaka’s fifth special judge also slapped a fine of Tk 1 million.  

Nath, who has been tried as a fugitive to justice, is also a suspect in the 11 cases filed over the Hallmark loan scam.

According to the case dossier, the graft watchdog served Nath with a notice in 2015 asking him to submit his wealth details. In January the next year, the ACC started a case with police in Dhaka.
