Two Sonali Bank officials quizzed

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday interrogated two former deputy managing directors of state-run Sonali Bank in connection with the Hall-Mark loan scam.
They are Mostaque Ahmed, now managing director of Karmasangstan Bank, and Kazi Fakrul Islam, currently working at BASIC Bank.
Based on investigation findings, the two are now likely to be included in the list of accused in the case filed in connection with the scam, said ACC officials.
They were interrogated at the commission's Segunbagicha office in the capital.
Mostaque and Fakhrul were summoned as they held key positions in the bank when the scam took place between 2010 and May 2012, sources added.
A Bangladesh Bank investigation found that Hotel Ruposhi Bangla branch of Sonali Bank lent Hall-Mark Group and five other companies Tk 3,547 crore on forged documents.
