The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has written to the Bangladesh Bank seeking the account statements of as many as 50 people, including at least three lawmakers from the ruling Awami League.
ACC Director Syed Iqbal Hossain sent the letters to the central bank's Financial Intelligence Unit in phases.
The lawmakers are Nurunnabi Chowdhury Shawon, Whip ShamsulHaque Chowdhury and Pankaj Debnath.
GK Shamim, Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan, Selim chief, Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Emperor, Khaled Mahmood Bhuiyan, and Shafiqul Islam Firoz are among others in the list.
The graft watchdog also sought the bank statements of Omar Faruk Chowdhury, who had been relieved of his post of the chairman of AL youth front Jubo League recently.
