Court freezes bank accounts of Gemcon director Enam Ahmed

A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 10 bank accounts of Kazi Enam Ahmed, a director of Gemcon Group and brother of former Jashore-3 lawmaker Kazi Nabil Ahmed. 

The court also appointed a receiver to manage his seized assets.

Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Foyez issued the order on Wednesday following a petition by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).

According to the ACC, a case has been filed against Enam Ahmed for allegedly acquiring assets worth Tk 326.6 million beyond known sources of income. The Commission also reported suspicious transactions totaling Tk 747.88 million through 14 bank accounts, involving alleged money laundering.

The ACC said there is a risk of asset transfer or the accused fleeing the country, making the freezing of assets necessary for the ongoing investigation.

The court also approved a separate petition to appoint a receiver to oversee the seized movable and immovable properties.
