Dhaka - Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize for having given access to microcredit to poor people, he appeared before a Dhaka court on charges of producing, through his bank and in cooperation with Danone, a yogurt injurious to health. It 's the third investigation involving these days the "banker to the poor: Yunus has also appeared before the Court last week, a complaint for defamation for some of his statements on politics in Bangladesh.
Also, the "banker to the poor" is at the center of an investigation initiated by the government in Dhaka for embezzling funds to his Grameen Bank, to transfer them to another project. Yogurt accused is called "Shakti doi" and is produced by the Grameen Bank in partnership with the French giant Danone.
After the hearing, Yunus said: "After receiving a call, I showed up today and was released on bail and are exempted from new audiences." Danone and Grameen Bank each hold 50% local company that produces food for poor consumers. For the lawyer of the Nobel Prize, this case is "baseless" and allegations that the yogurt will endanger public health "are false".
The last two surveys have fueled the suspicions, denied by the government that the legal problems of Yunus are related to differences with Prime Minister Sheikh Hassina.
