The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Thursday filed a case against Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, for allegedly accumulating wealth beyond his known sources of income.
ACC Assistant Director AKM Mortuza Ali Sagar filed the case.
ACC Director General (prevention) Md Akhter Hossain said the former ICT adviser to ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina acquired assets worth Tk60.14 crore through dishonest means during his tenure.
Investigations revealed that between 2000 and 2025, Joy acquired immovable assets valued at Tk54.39 crore and movable assets, including fixed deposits, furniture, cash, and bank balances, totaling Tk6.78 crore.
