ACC seeks info on laundered money from different countries

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent 14 letters to different countries seeking information and documents about the money laundered by politicians and businessmen.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam recently sent the Mutual Legal Assistance Requests (MLAR) on behalf of the commission.
Speaking at a regular press briefing at the ACC’s Segunbagicha headquarters today, ACC Secretary Maksudul Hasan Khan however did not disclose the names of the persons and the countries.
He added that they have already brought some money siphoned off.
ACC Chairman Badiuzzaman said that the commission would form a new cell by January next year to intensify the activities in bringing back the money.  
Responding to a query, he said the commission has started an enquiry to collect information about the 16 bureaucrats who had obtained freedom fighter certificates without maintaining proper procedure.
