Some key suspects of notorious 33.5 kg gold smuggling case, on which the Morang District Court is carrying out a trial, will also face additional money laundering charge, according to investigators.
The alleged mastermind of the smuggling racket Chudamani Upreti and Nepal Police SSP Shyam Khatri among others will face the charge.
Meanwhile, police are bringing Gore, Khatri and RPP-Democratic leader Bhujung Gurung to Kathmandu to launch the money laundering probe. The Court has already given the permission to police to take them to the capital, according to police.
They are scheduled to land at the Kathmandu airport this afternoon.
A police source informs that the Ministry of Home Affairs’ investigation team, which has been leading the probe against Gore’s racket, will also try to find more information about them while they will be in the capital for money laundering probe.
