The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a chargesheet against former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and his wife Lutfun Tahmina, accusing them of acquiring wealth beyond known income sources and laundering money. The chargesheet was submitted following an investigation that revealed assets worth over Tk 20 crore in Tahmina’s name, including both movable and immovable properties. The ACC stated that only Tk 5.22 crore of the total could be justified by legal income, leaving Tk 14.86 crore as unexplained wealth.

Investigators also found suspicious deposits of Tk 6.65 crore in a bank account belonging to a company owned by Tahmina. The ACC alleged that the funds were layered and converted to conceal their illicit origin, bringing the total laundered amount to Tk 21.52 crore. The charges were filed under sections of the ACC Act 2004, the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947, and the Money Laundering Prevention Act 2012.

The report added that Kamal fled to India after the government’s fall in August 2024 and was later sentenced to death by the War Crimes Tribunal for alleged attacks during the July movement.
