Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has received information on deposits of one among 67 Bangladeshis, involved in alleged money laundering, from Swiss banks.
"They did not say anything about the remaining 66 people," BFIU said in a report submitted to the High Court in this regard on Sunday.

Earlier on Wednesday, Ambassador of Switzerland to Bangladesh Nathalie Chuard said that the Bangladesh government did not submit any request for information regarding any particular funding in the Swiss banks.
“Switzerland is not a safe haven for corrupt money,” she added, “When it comes to the Bangladeshi money deposited in the Swiss banks - the deposits meant by individuals ...represent only one aspect of various sources of public and private funds,” she said.
Earlier on Thursday, the High Court ordered the government and the Anti-Corruption Commission to explain why the government didn’t seek information on deposits of Bangladesh money in the Swiss banks.
