The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday filed a case against general manager (Accounts & Finance) of Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (Bapex) AKM Anwarul Islam and his wife Farida Yeasmin for amassing huge illegal wealth. ACC Deputy Director Mohammad Helal Uddin Sharif filed the case with Ramna Model Police Station accusing the couple of amassing wealth worth Tk 11,093,924 illegally, ACC Public Relations Officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB.
The case was filed under sections 26 (2) and 27 (1) of the ACC Act 2004 and section 109 of the Penal Code.
According to the case statement, Farida Yeasmin started submitting tax returns since the fiscal year of 2005-06. She submitted information of wealth worth Tk 4,982,552 from 2005-06 to 2015-16 fiscal years and spent Tk 622,312 during the period.
