The Anti-Corruption Commission will soon submit a charge sheet against BNP Standing Committee member Moudud Ahmed and his brother on charge of grabbing a government land worth about Tk300 crore.
Following a five-month-long investigation, the ACC has found Moudud Ahmed and his brother Manzur Ahmed, now living in London, responsible for occupying the government property valued Tk300 crore since 1978 through different fake documents and abusing power, an official said.
The charge sheet was approved at a regular meeting of the ACC yesterday.
On December 17 last year, the ACC filed a case against the duo in this regard.
The case says the house in the capital’s Gulshan area belongs to Mohammad Ehsan and his wife Inze Maria Flatz, two Pakistani nationals who left the country before the 1971 Liberation War.
Following their departure, the house on 1.13bigha (0.374 acre) land on Gulshan Avenue was included in the list of government’s abandoned property on January 21, 1972.
On August 2, 1973, Moudud prepared a fake power of attorney of Maria Flatz to grab the land and used it to gain his own interest. Since then, he had been living in the house showing himself as a tenant of Maria Flatz, the case document says.
While holding different posts as minister during 1978-2006, Moudud tried to grab the house misusing his power. He made the fake documents in the name of his expatriate brother Manzur Ahmed.
