UNB, Dhaka :
Detectives are looking for 6-7 more Bangladeshi suspects in connection with the recent ATM card scam.
“We’re scrutinising information about 40-50 individuals, whose names were divulged by arrested German national Piotr Szczepan Mazurek alias Thomas and the three city bank officials during interrogation on remand,” Additional Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Monirul Islam told reporters at the DMP Media Centre on Sunday.
After primary scrutiny, the Detective Branch of police got sure about the involvement of 6-7 more suspects, he said, adding, “We’re trying to arrest them.” Three more foreign suspects involved in the ATM card forgery have managed to flee the country before filing of the case with Banani Police Station in connection with the incident, he said.
The DMP additional commissioner also said they are sure that several expatriate Bangladeshis were involved in the scam. “We’ll seek help from the Interpol as well as Bangladesh missions in
the countries where they fled to bring them back to Bangladesh,” Monirul, also the chief of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) unit of DMP, said.
The detectives arrested the foreign national along with the three city bank officials-Moksed Al alias Maksud, Rezaul Karim alias Sahin and Refaz Ahmed alias Rony-from the city’s Gulshan area on February 22 in connection with ATM card forgery. German national Piotr Szczepan Mazurek alias Thomas has already made his confessional statement before a magistrate court.
The United Commercial Bank authorities first filed a case with Banani Police Station on February 12 as at least Tk 1.26 lakh was misappropriated through ATM card forgery recently. Later, the case was transferred to the DB.
