A closer read woul've revealed that we're not in total disagreement. However, the percentage of the financially better off is higher than you think, though not quite at the BDT 300,000 plus level.

Breaking News ... Reeling in the Holy Family, Version 1.0 Before the ACC Case
From The Daily Star, link: http://www.thedailystar.net/latest/updates.php?pid=-95
" Charges pressed against Hasina, Rehana, Selim in an extortion case
Star Online Report
Gulshan police today pressed charges against detained Awami League chief Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana and their cousin and former minister Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim in an extortion case filed with Gulshan Police Station.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Gulshan Police Station Obaidul Haque submitted the charge sheet to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate's Court, Dhaka.
Azam J Chowdhury, managing director of Eastcoast Trading Private Ltd, filed the case with Gulshan Police Station on June 13 against Hasina and AL leader Selim for allegedly extorting over Tk 2.99 crore.
In the FIR, Azam mentioned that Selim, now behind bars, tried to be the local agent of Russian company TPE and on different occasions, he tried to influence the TPE chief to serve his purpose. At one stage, Selim started putting pressure and compelled Azam to meet him.
On July, 2000, they reached a verbal agreement of paying two percent commission amounting $5.8 lakh (equivalent to a little over Tk 2.99 crore) to Selim, Azam said. The commission was paid at Selim's residence in eight cheques of Standard Chartered Bank and Southeast Bank from October 24, 2000 to February 14, 2001, he added.
Selim did not interfere with the work after the commission was paid, the complainant said, adding that many people including the executives of his company are aware of the matter of taking the commission by Selim."

I am not saying you are wrong about your accusation about BBC. But can you please back up with your claim with some supporting document? That will help us (individually) and make our own mind whether we agree or disagee. btw I haven't seen any mention of Hasina in that BBC report.

My pattern is the antipattern.
You need evidence, very good. Please listen to the Selim and Jalil interrogation.

I don't know think BBC will be biased in their reporting because Hasina has lots of money in UK banks. All the people were generally supportive about the anti-corruption drive of the govt. They might have cherry picked some of the views, but i think the representation of the views are generally true.
But, there is no denying that lobbyist and foreign politicians influence news. BNP just hired a US lobbyist group recently (link available in DP blog) so expect some news sympathetic to Khaleda. Al is much smarter with this kinda of political manipulation. The international media knew about the Talibanization of bangladeshi government even before bangladeshi people and journalists knew!!!

I wonder why Hasina or BAL leaders are not saying a single word on existence of those bank cheques. It is obvious that the bank has transaction record / documents too ( for certain period ), since its a common practice according to banking law. Instead bark out 'conspiracy', 'false charge', 'abusing power', 'demeaning reputation' and what not. Anybody heard anything what their ( BAL leaders ) explanation is to the people on those bank evidence?
I like to see how Hasina explain it in court now.

To those talking about Zurich. As I understand it, Swiss banks can ignore the demand for information as Bangladesh Court Order wont have jurisdictional effect in Switzerland... However if it is an issue of tax evasion, then the strict privacy rules do not hold in Switzerland. Lately its also the same for terrorism financing, Switzerland is not as tight lipped as people think it to be.

It looks like BD did not bring back stolen money from overseas sources yet. BD doesn't have experience in how to do this. Only Philippines, Panama and Nigeria succeeded in bringing back some money stolen by ther past dictators - suggested by the news.
The link below shows : http://www.newagebd.com/front.html#1
" Banking information available from the receiver country cannot be produced in any court, but can be used in the interrogation process.
The government can then initiate cases against the accused and after getting the verdict, it can formally approach the receiver country for the repatriation, which needs another agreement, a central banker elaborated.
The whole process can take years since banks are not bound to give details of deposits as and when asked."

Not a penny of illegal offshore money repatriated yet
Central bank contradicts govt claims, says all money deposited from local sources.
The country’s monetary authorities have said that not a single penny from offshore deposits of corruption suspects or shady business deals has yet been brought back to the country, contradicting the government’s claims that several hundred crores of takas sent illegally abroad have been repatriated.
The government is also yet to ascertain any information about the exact amount of money or assets stolen from the country and deposited in foreign countries, officials have further told New Age.
The finance and planning adviser, Mirza Azizul Islam, in his budget speech on June 7 said, ‘This is for the first time in the history of Bangladesh that we have taken initiatives to bring back the money illegally transferred to foreign countries. Already a total of about Tk 350 crore has been brought back and deposited into the government exchequer.’
But the central bank governor on Sunday contradicted the finance adviser’s statement, saying that no money has been repatriated so far and whatever amount has been deposited with the exchequer has come from local sources. ‘Not a single penny has come from abroad,’ Salehuddin Ahmed told New Age.
He however said that the government is supposed to sign memorandums of understanding with the Malaysian and Singapore authorities soon, which will facilitate sharing of deposit information.
Repatriation of money siphoned off from the country by corruption suspects is an uphill task since there is no official or banking agreement with any foreign country in this regard, a central bank official said.
Over Tk 450 crore was deposited with the exchequer after the interim government toughened its stance on ill-gotten money, but the amount did not come from abroad and were paid from local sources through cheques and pay orders, he said.
The Bangladesh Bank governor on July 2 at a programme admitted that no money has been repatriated into the country so far. The central bank needs to get detailed information in hand about illegally transferred money before taking steps to bring the amount back, he said.
Recovering stolen assets from abroad entails a complex procedure with international dimension, said an official of the central bank, adding the country does not have any experience on this issue.
Collection of information regarding stolen asset recovery is the first step and for that there has to be an agreement signed between sender and receiver countries, officials said.
Banking information available from the receiver country cannot be produced in any court, but can be used in the interrogation process.
The government can then initiate cases against the accused and after getting the verdict, it can formally approach the receiver country for the repatriation, which needs another agreement, a central banker elaborated.
The whole process can take years since banks are not bound to give details of deposits as and when asked.

The chargesheet was based on the confession that was obtained in an illegal way. Does that mean that the chargesheet that has been inssued now is also illegal?
Any legal experts.

Chargesheet toh toiri hoise akhon.
The HC has sed that the basis on which the charge shet has been issued was obtained in a illegal way.
This is the start, eijey ato manush eikhane khub khusi chilo nah about all these people getting sentences from the lower court. HC jeye most verdicts will be overturned.
Er jonnei ekta transparent systematic way teh gele ato genjam hoito nah.
Now the mettle of the government will be seen, orah ki court decisions manipulate kora shuru korbeh naki nah.
