Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has recovered 23 sacks of documents tied to former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury’s alleged money laundering and overseas assets.
Officials said the documents were secretly moved from Aramit Group’s facilities to a neighbor’s house by Chowdhury’s driver just ahead of an ACC raid on September 18. They were finally seized early Sunday.
Preliminary review suggests Chowdhury owns 582 properties in the UK, USA, Dubai, and Singapore, along with additional assets in India, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Cambodia. The documents reportedly include evidence of foreign currency laundering.
The ACC said a detailed investigation will take time, after which verified findings will be formally presented.
