The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started quizzing former head of Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) Masud Biswas who was arrested by detectives on Saturday.


Masud will be produced before a court after initial interrogation, said ACC’s public relations officer Akhtarul Islam.

ACC started an investigation against Masud Biswas over graft allegation during the interim government’s tenure.

According to the complaints, Masud facilitated irregularities taking bribes from top corrupt officials during the previous government’s tenure.

He had a silent role in the laundering of TK 92,000 crore in 24 major cases, including the Hallmark and Bismillah Group scandal, reports UNB.

Besides, allegations surfaced that the Cash Transaction Report (CTR) was not verified by the BFIU with Masud being identified as the primary figure behind this oversight.
