Law Minister said, 'Dr. Many questions came from their country about Yunus' trial process and they wanted to be clarified. Dr. I have told them the cases regarding Yunus. There was a case where he violated workers' rights. He has been sentenced. 108 workers filed a case against him personally.'
He said, 'I told them that the case of tax evasion is considered as an important case by various countries of the world including Western countries. Just like that. Yunus is being prosecuted. If any citizen of the country breaks the law, he will be judged. Yunus is also being judged in the same way. But what he (Dr Yunus) is saying is untrue and insulting to the people of Bangladesh.
Law Minister said, 'Dr. The Anti-Corruption Commission filed a case against Yunus. I said about that case - the case is ongoing in the court. I also told them that the law minister does not say anything about the cases that are pending in court. Another thing I said - there is a tax evasion case against him. In one of his cases he paid taxes after losing all the way to the Appellate Division. Other cases that are there are cases of non-payment of tax.'

Discussions have been held with them. They asked me about Yunus Sahib's case. Talked to them about these issues.'

I told them that we have done enough work on labor laws. Also worked on amendments to labor laws. I think we should end the matter.'
A case has been filed on charges of embezzlement and money laundering of the workers of Grameen Telecom. against Yunus. He was also punished in cases of violation of labor laws. But Dr. Yunus has been claiming that he has not committed any crime.
Nobel-winning economist Dr. expressed his anger about the court system on Wednesday. Muhammad Yunus. He said, I was inside the cage all the time today. Is it fair to keep the accused in the cage before they are proven guilty? It seems like a chore to me. Everyone raise your voice about this.
Meanwhile, if the crime is proven in the money embezzlement case, economist. ACC Public Prosecutor (PP) Mosharraf Hossain Kajal said that 14 convicts including Muhammad Yunus may be sentenced to life imprisonment. He said that the complaint has been framed under Section 409 of the Penal Code. If the charges under this section are proved, the maximum punishment for the accused is life imprisonment.
