A Dhaka court on Tuesday ordered the confiscation of Taka 65 lakh from 53 bank accounts linked to prime accused Faisal Karim Masud and his associates in connection with the murder of Inqilab Mancho spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.
The court also directed the freezing of the accounts.
Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, approving a plea filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). CID Sub-Inspector Abdul Latif submitted the application on behalf of the agency.
The plea stated that investigations into money laundering allegations against Faisal and his associates are ongoing. Analysis of the bank accounts held in the names of Faisal, his associates, and related organisations revealed highly suspicious transactions.
Preliminary findings suggest Faisal and his associates may be involved in murder, terrorism, financing of terrorist activities, and organised crime—offences under the Money Laundering Prevention Act.
The CID requested the freezing of the accounts and confiscation of the funds, citing the risk of misappropriation before the conclusion of the case.
