Probe report in tax evasion case against Prince Moosa on Oct 13

A Dhaka court has set October 13 to submit the probe report in a case filed against businessman Moosa Bin Shamsher for tax evasion and filing a false statement regarding keeping money in the Swiss Bank.

Earlier, September 11 was fixed for submitting the report but the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikary reset the date to October 13 as the investigation agency Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) failed to submit it on Wednesday.

Customs intelligence has found allegations of registering a Range Rover vehicle brought in the country under tax-free facility, in his name through submitting false documents and making transaction of illegal money, primarily true.

Moosa has been blamed for registering the luxury vehicle in his name by submitting false bill of entry and evading Tk2.17 crore in tax. He also did not submit any legal source of income for the money that he has declared kept in Swiss Bank.

Assistant Revenue Officer of CIID Md Zakir Hossain filed the case against Moosa with Gulshan police station on July 31, 2017 under Money Laundering Prevention Act.
