ACC making further enquiry into Tarique's wealth report

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is conducting further inquiry into the wealth statement of detained BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Tarique Rahman, as it appears the commission does not have enough evidence to file any case against him.
"It'll take more time to file case. The commission is looking into it," ACC Secretary Mokhles ur Rahman told reporters yesterday afternoon replying to a query about filing a case against Tarique.
On July 21, ACC Deputy Director Zahirul Huda submitted the inquiry report on Tarique's wealth statement to the commission recommending submission of a first information report (FIR) for concealing information and acquiring wealth beyond his known sources of income.
Asked whether the commission does not have enough evidence against Tarique, the ACC secretary said, 'To us, evidence means any cheque, demand draft, any transaction or bank statement for six months to one year that are mandatory. Cases were not filed without evidence against those who were convicted. Cases cannot be filed without this type of evidence.”
Asked if the commission is re-investigating his wealth statement, he said, "Re-investigation takes place if the report is not accepted. In this case, further inquiry is being conducted."
Replying to a question about reviving the cases against former prime minister Sheikh Hasina filed by the now-defunct Bureau of Anti-Corruption (Bac), he said, "The important cases filed by Bac will be revived, hopefully within a month."
"A director general (scrutiny), after the appointment, will scrutinise different important aspects and then the cases will be revived," Mokhles said.
Responding to another question, the ACC secretary said different sensitive cases, including those against former President HM Ershad and two former prime ministers that have been stayed or quashed, will be looked into.
