Charges and convictions

In February 2007, the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) published a list of 50 persons of top corrupt suspects which included Ibrahim's name.[6][7] After the deadline of 72 hours to submit the wealth statements, Ibrahim was arrested by the joint forces.[8][9]

In October 2007, ACC investigation found Ibrahim and his younger brother, businessman Giasuddin Al Mamun guilty of illegally amassing Tk 171 crore in the preceding five years.[8]

In May 2007, ACC filed the cases against the couple and a special court indicted the couple in November the same year.[10][11][12] He was released on bail from Dhaka Central Jail in February 2009.[13] In October 2011, following an appeal filed by Ibrahim, the High Court acquitted both of them of the corruption charges.[14] But in August 2015, the Supreme Court scrapped those High Court acquittal verdicts.[15][16]

In December 2008, nomination paper for the election from Bhola-2 constituency of Ibrahim was rejected as he was a convict in criminal cases and accused of total 18 cases.[17][18][19][20]

In August 2011, ACC filed a case against Ibrahim and his wife for laundering $1.75 lakh to Singapore.[21][22] A Dhaka court in December 2012 granted bail to them.[21] In October 2012, the Supreme Court stayed the money laundering case.[23]

In July 2013, a Barisal court framed charges against Ibrahim in a case filed over misappropriating relief items of corrugated tin.[3][24]
