The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started an investigation against Masud Biswas, the former head of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), following allegations of graft.
The decision to investigate was confirmed by the ACC’s Public Relations Officer Akhtarul Islam on Wednesday.
According to the complaints Masud facilitated irregularities by accepting bribes from top corrupt officials during the previous government.
He had a silent role in the laundering of TK 92,000 crore across 24 major incidents, including the Hallmark and Bismillah cases.
Furthermore, allegations surfaced that the Cash Transaction Report (CTR) was not verified by the BFIU, with Masud being identified as the primary figure behind this oversight.
These allegations extend to the acquisition of illegal assets, prompting the ACC to take action.
