A Dhaka court has imposed travel bans on 11 individuals connected to the interests of S Alam Group Chairman Mohammad Saiful Alam and his family.
Dhaka Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib issued the order on Tuesday, granting a plea from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
The individuals barred from leaving the country are Belal Ahmed, Fasihul Alam, Sazeda Begum, Mahmudul Alam, Md Mostan Billah Adil, Atikun Nesa Jeny, Lutfur Nahar, Chemon Ara Begum, Maimuna Khanom, Badrunnesa Alam, and Sharmin Fatema.
According to the ACC, the anti-graft body is investigating allegations that Mohammad Saiful Alam, his family members, and associates laundered approximately $1 billion to Singapore, the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and other countries.
The ACC argued that these individuals were attempting to flee the country, which could hinder the ongoing investigation.
