Bangladesh’s former chief justice, Surendra Sinha has been sentenced to 11 years in jail for corruption.
A court in the capital Dhaka found Sinha guilty of laundering approximately $471,000 in connivance with the officials of a private bank.
He left Bangladesh in late 2017, alleging he had been forced to step aside following the landmark ruling.
Campaigners have said his departure was a massive blow to the credibility of the country’s judiciary, and accused the government of going after Sinha.
