Godfathers of drugs will be brought to book: CID Addl IGP

Dhaka, June 03 - The godfathers of drug trade will be brought to book through special methods, said additional Inspector General of Police of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Mohammad Ali Mia. 

The amassed properties of the godfathers of drug trade were brought under legal action. Some of these were confiscated through freezing accounts while some of these were seized, he said on Sunday while talking to reporters after unveiling a cover of a book at CID headquarters at Malibagh.

Earlier, we used to bring drug users and retailers under the law but now we are bringing the godfathers through special methods by freezing or seizing properties, the CID Addl IGP added.

Mentioning that there is a human trafficking cell in CID which is kept open round the clock, he said legal steps are being taken against the human trafficking gang after getting a complaint.

Apart from this, “We will take legal action if anyone files a case over what we saw at the airport on May 31. We will bring not only the trafficking case but also the illegal sending of workers or the transfer of money illegally converted under the money laundering case.”

Replying to a question about how much money has been laundered in the past one year, the CID official said they have no information about it as the Bangladesh Bank is monitoring it.

Responding to another question about the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist, Mohammad Ali, said CID will submit the charge-sheet after completing the investigation within one or two month.-UNB
