The Anti-Corruption Commission or ACC has summoned BNP leader Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury over allegations that he had laundered money and undeclared assets.
The opposition politician has been asked to
appear at the ACC headquarters at 10am on Aug 28, according to a notice signed by ACC Director Kazi Shafiqul Alam, said a commission official on Thursday.
The ACC sent the letter after receiving complaints that the former commerce minister made bank transactions worth ‘tens of millions of taka’ and laundered money abroad by opening a five-star hotel business with different name, commission officials said.
The BNP Standing Committee member from Chattogram also allegedly amassed wealth from unknown sources and bought shares by using names of his wife and other members of the family, the officials said.
The ACC notice came days after police started investigating Amir Khosru for allegedly trying to change the course of the student movement for road safety measures.
