The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Thursday approved charge sheet against Jubo League's expelled Office Secretary Kazi Anisur Rahman and his wife Sumi Rahman in cases filed over the allegations of possessing illegal wealth beyond legal income sources.
ACC Deputy Director Gulshan Ara Pradhan filed a case against Anisur and his wife for accumulating 12.8 crore taka in illegal wealth and 1.31 crore taka in illegal assets.
The cases were filed with ACC District co-ordinated office, Dhaka-1 on September 29, 2019 against the couple.
The charge sheet said, “Anisur Rahman gained wealth worth 12,70, 60,920.67 taka through casino business, extortion, tender manipulation and other unethical practices and ACC filed a case in this connection after primary investigation.”
The charge sheet against Sumi Rahman said, “Sumi Rahman, wife of Kazi Anisur Rahman who was involved with casino business, extortion, tender manipulation and other unethical practices acquired 1,31,16,500 taka beyond legal income sources which was proved in primary investigation.”
“Her husband Kazi Anisur Rahman helped her in possessing illegal wealth in different ways by transferring and transforming illegal wealth which is a punishable crime," ACC charge sheet also said.
Kazi Anisur Rahman went into hiding during the crackdown on illegal casinos.
He started working as a computer operator at Jubo League's central office in 2005 and grabbed the post of office secretary seven years later.
Anisur was appointed as the deputy office secretary to the organisation in 2012 before being promoted to the vacant post of office secretary six months later.
