Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday filed a case against BNP leader Mosaddek Ali Falu and three others, under the Money Laundering Act, for siphoning Tk 183.92 crore to Dubai.
ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said ACC’s Assistant Director Gulshan Anowar Pradhan filed the case against Falu, a former member of BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s advisory council, and three others with Uttara Police Station.
The other accused are: SAK Ekramuzzaman, managing director of RAK Ceramics and Rakhen Development Company Ltd; Syed AK Anwaruzzaman, director of Star Ceramics Private Ltd; and Md Amir Hossain, former director of RAK Consumer Products Ltd and Star Ceramics Private Ltd.
According to ACC, Falu, along with the three businessmen, opened offshore companies -- named Al Madina International Ltd, Tri Star Ltd and Development EUE -- in Dubai in 2010.
Through this, they siphoned off Tk 183.92 crore amassed through illegal means from the country, reads the FIR.
It also says that Falu could not show source of the money. He also did not take permission from Bangladesh Bank in this regard.
“He misused his power and laundered the money,” reads the FIR.
Ekramuzzaman and Anwaruzzaman could not show any legal source of their income, nor took approval from the central bank.
