Bangladesh's High Court ordered Grameen Kalyan, owned by former interim government chief adviser Muhammad Yunus, to pay Taka 666 crore (approximately USD 54 million) in taxes alleged to be evaded from 2012 to 2017. The ruling follows a series of judicial decisions, including an August 4, 2024 order and its subsequent withdrawal on October 4, 2024. Yunus' lawyers plan to challenge the latest verdict at the Supreme Court. The full payment deadline will be clarified after the verdict's detailed release.
