The latest global corruption index again paints a troubling picture
Nazrul Islam Mazumder, chairman of Nassa Group and a close associate of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, has been accused of trade-based money laundering amounting to Tk 16,000 crore by the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit.
A Dhaka court yesterday sentenced “Casino Brothers” -- Enamul Haque Enu and Rupon Bhuiyan -- to seven years and seven others to four years in jail in a case filed over laundering Tk 17.16 lakh.
The bank accounts of 366 individuals and entities with a Tk 15,000 crore combined balance were frozen between August and December last year over money laundering allegations.
More than two and a half years after his arrest by India’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case, Bangladeshi businessman Prashanta Kumar Halder, known as PK Halder, walked out of jail after a special court in Kolkata granted him bail.
The Anti-Corruption Commission has decided to launch an investigation against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy on allegations of laundering $300 million to the United States.
Corruption, embezzlement, and money laundering have been endemic in Bangladesh but reached new heights during the last 15 years of the now-toppled regime led by the Awami League.
The spirit of 1971 lives on, and it is up to the present generation to ensure that its promises are fulfilled.
A government taskforce will investigate the country’s 10 major business groups’ alleged money laundering and other misdeeds.
