A Dhaka court has ordered to freeze 91 bank accounts of sacked Awami League (AL) leaders Enamul Haque Enu and his brother Rupon Bhuiyan in connection with two money-laundering cases.
Senior Special Judge’s Court Judge KM Emrul Kayes passed the order on Thursday after two Investigation Officers, also the Inspectors of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of police, submitted separate petitions before the court, seeking to freeze the bank accounts.
The cases, among seven, were filed with Gandaria and Wari police stations by the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) last year after seizure of a huge amount of money and gold, alongside firearms, from their houses during a raid in Old Dhaka.
Enamul was the Director of Dhaka Wanderers Club and the sacked Vice President of the Awami League’s Gandaria unit, while Rupon, also a shareholder of the club, was the Joint General Secretary of the same unit.
On February 25 this year, the RAB raided the house of the brothers at Lalmohon Saha Street in Old Dhaka and seized around Tk 26.55 crore in cash.
During the raid, Tk 5 crore FDR (fixed deposit receipt), around 1 kg gold ornaments, casino equipment, and foreign currencies — $9,300, 174 Malaysian Ringgit, 5,350 Indian Rs, 1,195 Chinese Yuan, 11,560 Thai baht, and 100 UAE Dirham-were also seized.
Earlier on January 13, the CID arrested Enamul, Rupon, and their associate Sheikh Sunny Mostafa in Keraniganj of Dhaka for their alleged link with casino businesses.
