Dhaka, Sep 30 (V7N) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is conducting multiple investigations into allegations of money laundering in the banking sector by the S Alam Group, said ACC Director General Md. Akhtar Hossain at a briefing on Tuesday afternoon.

He noted that since the 24th mass uprising, the ACC has received numerous complaints regarding alleged bank takeovers and irregularities under the group’s control. The commission is examining claims that several banks linked to the conglomerate were “anonymously looted.”

“Steps will be taken after scrutinizing all complaints in stages,” Akhtar Hossain said, adding that the ACC has sought the help of Interpol to repatriate accused individuals. Red notices have already been issued for some, and the ACC is following proper legal procedures in those cases.

Alongside the S Alam probe, the ACC also announced new corruption cases:

  • A case against Clearing and Forwarding (C&F) agent Shamsur Rahman for illegally acquiring assets worth Tk 53 crore.

  • A case against former Bhola-2 MP Ali Azam Mukul and his wife for possessing illegal assets worth Tk 9.5 crore and conducting suspicious transactions totaling Tk 120 crore.
