Ershad's Estranged Wife Faces Money Laundering Charge |
2005-06-18 |
![]() Bidisha, 38, has been in police custody since June 4 after the one-time military strongman, now 77, lodged complaints with police. In addition to the money laundering charge, she is accused of theft, criminal damage, forgery, bigamy, and threats to kill, said another member of her legal team, Sarah Hossen. Two days after Bidisha's arrest, her husband left the country telling reporters she was a bigamist. He said he believed she was still married to her former husband Peter Wilson, of Britain, because she named him as her spouse in a 2002 passport application. |
