The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to reinvestigate the Padma Bridge corruption and conspiracy case.
On Tuesday (December 24), ACC Director General (Prevention) Akhter Hossain briefed on various issues at Segunbagicha in the capital.
At this time, he said that the ACC has started a reinvestigation of the Padma Bridge corruption conspiracy case. The agency has also decided to reinvestigate the Novo Theater corruption case against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Although she was accused in three cases, she was later acquitted.
A letter has been sent to the secretary of the chief advisor seeking information in the investigation into Sheikh Hasina's embezzlement of Tk. 21,000 crore in 8 mega projects. To a question in this regard, ACC Director General (Prevention) Akhter Hossain said that journalists have been informed about this matter before. An investigation team has been formed. Members of the investigation team are writing letters to various departments to collect documentary evidence. This is part of their investigation work. After receiving the information, the team members will review it. Along with this, the supporting documents to prove the allegations and those involved in the allegations will be questioned in this regard.
Meanwhile, the ACC has written to the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) requesting all the documents of the domestic and foreign transactions of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed Joy, younger sister Sheikh Rehana and her daughter Tulip Siddique.
In the letter sent by the ACC head office today, the agency's investigation team has sought detailed information on all accounts, including the account statements of offshore banks operated in the names of the suspects. In addition, the investigation team has summoned the personal documents of the people involved in the allegations in the first phase and summoned documents from the Election Commission and the Immigration and Passport Office.
