BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi on Saturday claimed the US intelligence agency FBI has ensured that Bangladesh Bank’s 81 million dollar money reserved in New York Ferderal Bank was stolen under the auspices of state.
He said it at a press briefing at the party’s central office in the city. He said the FBI report had exposed
the government’s mask. He said the Federal Bureau of Investigation also informed that names of those involved in the world’s biggest’ reserve money theft were on the final stage for making public.
Rizvi said what BNP had complained about the stealing of Bangladesh Bank’s reserve money became true.
He said it had been clear from the FBI report why the finance minister had held up the probe report of the robbery of reserve money of the central bank for number of years.
Rizvi said the ruling Awami League did not make any development except ‘stealing’ money of common people.
The BNP leader alleged that the government had no power to take action against a ‘powerful’ person of the Bangladesh Bank saying who remained behind the bank’s reserve theft.
The Bangladesh Bank’s reserve money was stolen in early 2016.
