The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) will send a notice to ruling party lawmaker Abdur Rahman Badi to submit his wealth statement soon.
The decision came after investigation officer of the case Ahsan Ali submitted a primary inquiry report on Thursday afternoon.
The Awami League leader from Cox's Bazar 4 constituency was asked to appear before ACC today.
Earlier on January, Ahsan Ali, also the deputy director of ACC,went to Cox’s Bazar and visited different administrative offices and collected documents related to the MP’s wealth.
Sources said, the investigation officer also acquired the wealth statement of the lawmaker and income tax return statements of MP Badi and his wife Shahina Akhter which they submitted to the Election Commission.
As per the affidavits submitted to the commission for the 10th parliamentary poll, Badi earned nearly Tk37 crore during the period. Badi, in his affidavit, mentioned that he earned the money through his export-import business and fuel business in Teknaf.
On January 22, the ACC initiated an inquiry against seven ruling party lawmakers, including two former ministers, a state minister and four MPs, in a bid to trace the sources of their phenomenal rise in wealth.
On February 16, refuting the allegations, the lawmaker said all the allegation against him were baseless and incorrect and was intended to harm his political image.
He said he would resign from his parliamentary post if graft allegation were found to be true.
