ACC sends letters to recover money siphoned off abroad

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent 14 letters to different countries seeking information and documents about money laundered there by politicians and businessmen.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam recently sent the Mutual Legal Assistance Requests (MLAR) on behalf of the commission.
Briefing the press at the ACC's Segunbagicha headquarters yesterday, ACC Secretary Maksudul Hasan Khan, however, did not disclose the names of the countries or the persons.
He added that they have already recovered some of the siphoned off money.
ACC Chairman Badiuzzaman told The Daily Star that the commission would form a new cell by January next year to strengthen the commission's work in bringing back the siphoned off money.
