A case of money laundering has been filed against former Finance Minister and UML Vice President Bishnu Poudel.
The Special Public Prosecutor's Office filed a case against him in a special court on Thursday. A fine of 209 million rupees has been fixed in Poudel's case, and 634 thousand rupees in his bank account have been ordered to be confiscated.
A supplementary charge sheet has been filed after further investigation in the case registered earlier, including defendant Deepak Bhatta. In which 16 people, including Poudel, and 6 people and 10 companies have been made defendants, the special court has stated.
The Money Laundering Investigation Department has been in custody of Poudel for 25 days and is investigating. He was arrested and brought to Kathmandu after reaching Surkhet on 26 Ashad for party work. The department had initiated an investigation on charges of financial irregularities in collusion with businessman Deepak Bhatta, who is in custody for trial on the crime of money laundering. Poudel has been accused of being an accomplice in the crime of money laundering by creating an environment for Bhatta and others to hide and defraud illegal assets.
