The Department of Money Laundering Investigation (DMLI) has filed a case accusing the then executive chairman of Nepal Share Markets and Finance Company Yogendra Shrestha of illegally amassing wealth of Rs 1.71 billion.
The anti-money laundering body has registered the case with the Special Court on Wednesday, according to Special Court Spokesperson Pushpa Paudel. Paudel told Setopati that the DMLI had brought the case Tuesday itself but the court sent it back stating that the charge sheet was not complete. It registered the case on Wednesday after the department brought a complete charge sheet.
Paudel revealed that Shrestha has also been accused of misusing loans and other misdemeanors.
