The Anti-Corruption Commission is likely to file a case against 11 people of Nasir Group, including its chairman, for money laundering and tax evasion.
ACC Assistant Director SM Rafiqul Islam last week submitted his inquiry report to the director of the commission against the Nasir Group for laundering Tk80 crore.
The other accused are Nasir Group General Manager (import) Alfaz Uddin, GM (marketing) Shamim Ahmed, GM (finance and accounts) Siddiqur Rahman, Assistant General Manager (purchase) Mobaidul Islam, Cashier Mohammed Shamim, employees Niaj Biswas, Emdadul Haque, AJ Money Exchange owner Saidul Islam, Firoz and Adil.
The ACC found that Nasir Group paid only 40-50% of the total money against each Letter of Credit while importing products through bank accounts.
A senior ACC official said primary investigation has revealed evidence of money laundering by the group
Earlier in February this year, the inquiry officer interrogated the Nasir Group’s chairman and officials and for the second time the inquiry officer issued them a notice to appear before the commission on December 15. But the accused skipped interrogation on that day and sought time extension.
