A special court yesterday sentenced ex-Awami League lawmaker Mohiuddin Ahmed to 11 years in jail for corruption.

Judge M Ashraf Hosssin handed down the verdict, as Mohiuddin was found guilty of two counts of charges --- making wealth illegally and concealing information about his real wealth in a statement to the Anti-corruption Commission.

He was tried in absentia.

The judge also fined Mohiuddin, a former lawmaker from Munshiganj, Tk 10 lakh, in default, to suffer another year behind bars.

The court ordered authorities to confiscate his property worth about Tk 3.74 crore.
