ACC files another corruption case against PK Halder for embezzling Tk 34.35cr
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) today filed a case against former managing director of NRB Global Bank, Proshanta Kumar Halder -- also known as PK Halder -- and 20 others for embezzling around Tk 34.35 crore from FAS Finance and Investment, a non-banking financial institution.
With this, so far 28 corruption cases were filed against him.
ACC's Assistant Director Rakibul Hayat filed the case with the commission's Integrated District Office in Dhaka.
Other accused are: Nature Enterprise's director Momtaz Begum; International Leasing and Financial Service's director Nowsherul Islam; FAS Finance's chairman Siddiqur Rahman, vice-chairman Jahangir Alam, former directors Abul Shahjahan, Dr Uddab Mollik, Pradip Kumar Nandi, Anjan Kumar Roy, Ataharul Islam, Kazi Mahjabin Momtaz, Mahfuza Rahman Bebi, Soma Ghosh, former senior officer Tasnia Tahsin Rozalin, senior officer Mousumi Paul, deputy managing director Nurul Haque Gazi, manager Ahsan Rakib, senior vice president Pran Gouranga Roy, Jahangir Alam Bhuiyan, vice president Moniruzzaman Akanda and Mir Imadul Haque.
According to the case statement, the accused in association with the others took a loan around Tk 45 crore for "Nature Enterprise Limited" from FAS Finance.
In the investigation, the ACC found the Nature Enterprise is a fictitious organisation and all related documents are fake.
Of the Tk 45 crore, around Tk 34.35 crore was withdrawn and transferred to different accounts in phases to conceal the last destination of the money.
The ACC findings are based on the probe report of Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU).
Last week, the ACC filed 13 cases against 29 people, including fugitive PK Halder, for embezzling around Tk 523 crore of FAS Finance and Investment.
PK Halder came under the spotlight during the anti-casino drives in the country in 2019.
