BB Orders Banks to Investigate Accounts of Shirin Sharmin

Staff Correspondent Banking 2024-09-05, 5:31pm




The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of Bangladesh Bank has instructed all banks to investigate the accounts of Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, former Speaker of the Jatiya Sangsad.

In a letter issued today, the anti-money laundering agency also ordered banks to gather information on the accounts of four of her family members, including her spouse, son, and daughter.

This directive follows a series of recent actions by the BFIU, which previously froze the accounts of several high-profile politicians and professionals, including ministers from the recently ousted Awami League government. The government was overthrown following a mass uprising on August 5.
