DHAKA, March 10, 2026 (BSS) - The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) Chief 
Prosecutor Md Aminul Islam today said that after assuming office, he 
instructed every prosecutor that anyone wishing to work with him must rise 
above all greed and personal interests; otherwise, they should step aside.

"Today, reports have been published regarding a prosecutor who has already 
resigned, and whose resignation has been accepted. We will initiate an 
internal investigation from the Office of the Chief Prosecutor," Md Aminul 
Islam said at a press briefing this afternoon.

He further said that the report they received contains a serious allegation, 
which should not have been brought against any of their prosecutors. Legal 
action would be taken if a formal complaint is submitted regarding the 
matter, he added.

Speaking to journalists at the Chief Prosecutor's Office, he added that he 
has taken initiatives to make the ICT more dynamic. He held meetings with 
case investigators and prosecutors, and has already taken custody of the 
files of several cases. In the interest of justice, he feels it is necessary 
to personally oversee the management of these cases.

The press briefing followed newspaper reports on former prosecutor Md Saimum 
Reza Talukder, who allegedly tried to negotiate with the family of an accused 
at the ICT for a hefty sum of money.

Md Saimum Reza Talukder resigned from his post on March 9.
