A complaint has been filed against Major General (Retd) TM Jobayer, the former Director General of the Directorate of National Security Intelligence (NSI), accusing him of amassing illicit asset accumulation and money laundering.
A retired army officer lodged the complaint with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) at its Segun Bagicha headquarters recently, outlining extensive allegations against Jobayer.
A senior official of the commission confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune.
The official revealed that a preliminary inquiry into the allegations has begun.
The complaint outlines that Jobayer, during his tenure, amassed substantial wealth both locally and internationally through corrupt practices and collusion with high-ranking officials from the recently ousted Awami League government.
The charges include accusations of manipulating power for personal gain, such as facilitating business deals and securing political endorsements.
Key allegations detail that Jobayer's ill-gotten assets include a lavish house in Gulshan-2, a resort in Gazipur, multiple properties in Uttara and Savar, and a flat in Segun Bagicha.
Additionally, he is accused of acquiring a property in the UK valued at over Tk35 crore, registered under his name and that of his family members.
Efforts to contact Jobayer for comment have been unsuccessful, as his phone remains off.
TM Jobayer has served as NSI director general from 2018 to April 2024.
