The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has announced the court-ordered seizure of assets worth Tk 760 billion belonging to Sheikh Hasina and ten industrial groups, both domestically and abroad. BFIU chief Ikhtiaruddin Md Mamun disclosed the information on Wednesday during the release of the unit’s annual report at Bangladesh Bank’s headquarters. Of the total amount, Tk 570 billion was frozen within Bangladesh, while Tk 190 billion in foreign assets was also seized.
Mamun stated that efforts are underway to recover assets that were allegedly stolen from the country, expressing optimism about providing positive updates by the end of the year. He emphasized that the BFIU does not consider political affiliations when freezing bank accounts, noting that any suspicious transactions, including those involving members of the interim government, would be investigated.
The announcement highlights the BFIU’s ongoing drive to curb illicit financial flows and recover misappropriated wealth, signaling a broader effort to strengthen financial transparency and accountability in Bangladesh.
