The 13 accused were brought to the tribunal in a prison van at 10 am on Monday (November 18) under tight security.
The criminals presented are - former minister Anisul Haque, Farooq Khan, Shajahan Khan, Dr. Dipu Moni, Hasanul Haque Inu, Rashed Khan Menon, Junaid Ahmed Palak, Salman F Rahman, Kamal Ahmed Majumdar, Golam Dastgir Gazi, Dr. Taufiq-e-Ilahi Chowdhury, former Home Secretary Jahangir Alam, and retired Justice Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik.
Abdur Razzak was remanded in another case, so he was not produced in the tribunal today.
