The High Court on Sunday asked three government agencies to submit a report after investigating allegations of Tk 100 crore money laundering against the S Alam Group.
The HC bench of Justice Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Khizir Hayat passed the order after a report published in a daily newspaper was brought to the court’s attention by Supreme Court Barrister Syed Sayedul Haque Suman.
The agencies ordered to investigate the matter are Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). They were directed to submit their report within the next two months.
Moreover, a rule was issued asking why the failure and inaction of defendants to take legal action against those involved with this corruption and money laundering should not be declared illegal and why legal action should not be ordered against those involved in this corruption and money laundering.
