Dhaka: The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has commenced an investigation against Saida Muna Tasneem, former high commissioner of Bangladesh to the United Kingdom, and her husband Tawhidul Islam Chowdhury for allegedly laundering approximately Tk 2,000 crore.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, ACC Chairman Dr. Mohammad Abdul Momen shared this information with journalists during a routine press briefing at the commission’s headquarters. The investigation focuses on claims that the duo, in collaboration, illicitly transferred Tk 2,000 crore abroad. These funds were reportedly obtained through loans from various commercial banks, involving 12 commercial entities, including Generation Next Fashions Limited, which is chaired by Tawhidul Islam Chowdhury.
The ACC’s move to probe these allegations underscores the significance of monitoring financial transactions involving public officials and their families, aiming to maintain integrity and accountability within governmental and financial systems.
