On Thursday, the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), under the Bangladesh Bank, ordered all commercial banks to freeze the bank accounts of e-commerce platform Evaly, its Chairman Shamima Nasrin and Managing Director Md Rasel for the next 30 days under the Anti-Money Laundering law.
The intelligence unit also asked the banks concerned to submit all documents related to transactions through the accounts within the next five days.
Evaly came under discussion after several media reports were made about irregularities with Evaly's transactions and numerous complaints about it not delivering products to its customers in a timely manner; even after advance payments were made.
