ACC launches investigation against ex-BFIU chief Masud Biswas
According to the complaints Masud facilitated irregularities by accepting bribes from top corrupt officials during the previous government
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started an investigation against Masud Biswas, former head of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), following allegation of graft during the interim government's tenure.
The ACC's public relations officer, Akhtarul Islam, confirmed the decision of initiating the investigation today (25 September).
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 TK92,000 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.
