The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to investigate allegations against journalist Munni Saha and her husband, Kabir Hossain Taposh, over the acquisition of unexplained wealth and suspicious transactions worth Tk 134 crore in their bank accounts.
Md Akhter Hossain, director general (Prevention) of the ACC, revealed the matter while briefing the media at the ACC Headquaters at Segunbagicha in Dhaka on Thursday.
Akhter Hossain said that the ACC will investigate the allegations of suspicious transactions worth Tk 134 crore in their bank accounts and the acquisition of unexplained wealth linked to Munni Saha and her husband Taposh, owner of advertising agency MS Promotional.
According to complaints, soon after the fall of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Tk 120 crore was withdrawn from Munni Saha's deposits. The transactions were made through 17 banks, mostly through One Bank, according to Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU).
The remaining balance of Tk 14 crore in the account has been seized earlier. The BFJU has already seized Munni Sahar's bank account for illegal transactions.
Apart from her bank accounts issues, the anti-graft watchdog initially found a duplex house at 165 Santiniketan, Rojagreen in Gulshan-Tezgaon Link Road area.
Earlier, on October 6, 2024, BFIU had sought details of all bank accounts belonging to Munni Saha.
