The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has drawn up a list of 20 people who have amassed illicit assets and wealth through the casino business.
ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmud made the remark while talking to the journalists at the ACC headquarters in Dhaka’s Segunbagicha area on Monday.
He said they have launched a search operation to look into their properties for possible connections with illegal casinos.
The ACC chairman added: “No one will get exemption if they are found guilty of being involved in this misconduct. All culprits will be brought to book.”
On September 18, Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) uncovered illegal casino business during raids on the Fakirerpool Young Men’s Club, Wanderers Club, and Muktijoddha Krira Chakra.
The elite force arrested Khalid Mahmud, organizing secretary of Jubo League’s Dhaka south unit, the same day, before detaining Kalabagan Krira Chakra President and Krishak League
leader Shafiqul Alam Firoz.
GK Shamim, Jubo League leader and businessman, was arrested two days later for money laundering, illegal possession of arms and narcotics.
South Dhaka Jubo League leaders Ismail Hossain Chowdhury Samrat and Enamul Hoque Arman were jailed by a mobile court for six months each on Sunday, for wildlife law violations and drunkenness, respectively, several hours after their arrest from Cumilla on Sunday.
Samrat, allegedly a top casino kingpin, was sentenced under the Bangladesh Wildlife Preservation Law after a RAB raid found hides of two kangaroos at his Kakrail office in Dhaka.
