💨 Abstract

Bangladesh's Supreme Court has upheld a High Court ruling that acquitted former premier Khaleda Zia in a corruption case, dismissing the appeals filed by the state and Anti-Corruption Commission. Zia, 79, was previously convicted and sentenced to seven years in the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case in 2018. She now stands acquitted in both the Zia Charitable Trust and Zia Orphanage Trust cases.
