KATHMANDU, Jan 24: The Special Court has acquitted notorious don Milan Gurung alias Chakre Milan in the case of money laundering on Wednesday.

The bench of judges Ratna Bahadur Bagchand, Chandi Raj Dhakal and Pramod Kumar Shrestha gave a clean chit to Gurung and his wife Indira Gurung citing lack of proof against the accused.

Issuing the verdict, the bench has stated that the Government of Nepal could not provide strong evidence against Gurung regarding the case.

On May 20, 2013 the Department of Money Laundering Investigation (DoMLI) had filed a case against Gurung along with his spouse who were accused of amassing property worth Rs 70.8 million through illegal means.
