The Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary, Shafiqul Alam, has announced that a new law to recover smuggled money will be passed next week. He stated that the interim government has been actively working on retrieving illicit funds. Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus emphasized that this issue is of utmost priority, as it concerns the money of the Bangladeshi people. A task force comprising 11 members was formed in September to investigate financial crimes, including money laundering linked to Sheikh Hasina and her family. According to the task force, evidence has been found of 500 crore BDT ($50 million) being smuggled abroad in a single semester as tuition fees for an individual’s son. Meanwhile, 97% of textbooks have already been printed, and the remaining ones will be completed and distributed within a week.
