The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is going to investigate allegation of gathering huge illegal wealth against BNP leader Mosaddak Ali Falu for the second time.
The ACC has been investigating the allegation since 2007.
The Commission has asked its Deputy Director Md Jahangir Alam to investigate the allegation, said Pranab Kumar, Public Relations Officer of ACC on Wednesday.
On July 8, 2007, the ACC filed a case against Falu with Motijheel Police Station on charges of gathering illegal wealth worth
Tk 14.95 crore and concealing information about his property worth Tk 4.57 crore till 2007.
Later, the High Court quashed the trial proceedings of the case on January 19, 2012 following a petition filed by Falu.
The court also declared that the notice issued by the anti-graft body asking Falu to submit his wealth statement was illegal, as it was sent to the accused when he was in jail in 2007.
Around three years into the HC order, the Supreme Court on August 27, 2015 cleared the way for the lower court to hold the trial proceedings against BNP leader Mosaddak Ali Falu in the corruption case.
The apex court passed the order after hearing an appeal filed by the ACC challenging the HC judgment.
