The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has assigned a new investigating officer to look into allegations of money laundering and illegal wealth accumulation against Bangladesh cricket star Shakib Al Hasan. On Monday, ACC Assistant Director Sajjad Hossain was officially given charge of the case. Earlier, the ACC sought information from the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) and several other institutions regarding the corruption allegations. In June, the ACC filed a case against Shakib and 14 others, accusing them of manipulating the stock market and misappropriating Tk 256 crore from general investors. The new investigator will now also examine charges of illicit assets and money laundering linked to the case.
