ACC, BB, NBR to go for action

The Anti-Corruption Commission, Bangladesh Bank and National Board of Revenue will go for action regarding share market corruption as mentioned in the government probe body report.
The report submitted to the finance minister on Thursday suggested further investigation concerning persons whose names came up during the probe.
The probe body also suggested that the NBR and BB look into if the corruption suspects are paying tax regularly, and if there are irregularities involving the banks concerned.
“If any one is found involved in financial corruption, it is our responsibility to look into the matter,” ACC Chairman Ghulam Rahman said when contacted.
“We might initiate investigation into the corruption once the report on share market scam is made public,” he added.
Asked about this, high officials of the BB and NBR also said they will go for action once the government sends the probe report to them.
A finance ministry official said the report has been sent to the law ministry seeking its opinion on it.
The banking division will form a committee within a day or two to examine the report, he said.
