BB asks for 2 Biman officials' bank info
Bangladesh Bank has asked banks to send account information of two suspended Bangladesh Biman officials arrested for their involvement with a gold-smuggling racket at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) of the central bank, in a letter sent to the banks recently, also asked them to send the account information of the families of the two arrestees within 15 days.
The letter was sent after Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police had moved to the central bank for the information to continue its investigation into the matter.
The two top Biman officials -- Captain Abu Mohammad Aslam Shaheed, chief of planning and scheduling, and Tofazzal Hossain, manager (scheduling) -- were arrested on November 18 following seizure of a huge gold consignment at the airport recently.
Three more “members” of the gold-smuggling racket were also arrested on that day.
