The Anti-Corruption Commission has filed a money laundering case against four businesspeople, including BNP chief Khaleda Zia’s former adviser Mosaddak Ali Falu for siphoning off Tk nearly 1.84 billion.
Gulshan Anowar, an assistant director of the commissioner, filed the case with the city’s Uttara West police on Monday (May 13), said ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya.
The other three businessmen are SAK Ikramuzzaman, managing director of RAK Ceramics and Rakhen Development Company Ltd, Syed AK Anowaruzzaman, director of RAK Paints, and Md Amir Hossain, director of Star Ceramics.
According to the ACC, Falu with the help of the other three opened several offshore companies -- Al Madina International Ltd, Tri Star Ltd and Development EUE in Dubai in 2010.
Then they siphoned off nearly 1.84 billion from Bangladesh amassed through illegal means, said the watchdog in its First Information Report (FIR).
