The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday said it found inconsistency between the wealth statements furnished by ministers and lawmakers in their affidavits and information they divulged during interrogation by the ACC.
During interrogation the ACC found that information given by ministers and lawmakers was in conflict with that of the statements given in the affidavits they submitted prior to the 10th parliamentary polls, ACC Commissioner M Shahabuddin told reporters yesterday.
“The ACC has already served notices asking them to submit their wealth statements,” he said.
Addressing the reporters at his office at Segunbagicha the commissioner also said the anti-graft body would take action against those who concealed the truth after scrutinising the wealth statements.
The commission also prepared a list of political leaders who were under ACC scanner during the last caretaker government, he said.
Shahabuddin also said the incumbent government and the anti-graft body had been able to combat corruption compared to that of the previous government.
The ACC on January 21 assigned seven of its officials to enquire into the phenomenal rise of wealth of three former ministers, three members of parliaments and a former lawmaker to trace the reasons behind their wealth, which are inconsistent with their known sources of income.
