Customs Intelligence will have filed three cases against controversial business tycoon Moosa Bin Shamsher and another person on charges of money laundering, tax dodging and corruption.
Moinul Khan, the Director General of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) said this after officials interrogated Moosa for two hours in their Kakrail office on Sunday afternoon. “Based on the outcome of our interrogation session, we have decided to sue against Farid Kabir, the owner of a laxurious car seized in the CID drive, and Moosa,” Khan said.
While the Customs Intelligence looks to refer the graft charge over to Anti-Corruption Commission, it will move to bring the two under Money Laundering Prevention Act and tax law.
Earlier in the afternoon, Moosa appeared before the CIID office in response to a summon around 2:30pm.
The summon was based on the seizure of a luxurious SUV, which belongs to Moosa, from Dhanmondi on March 21. For investigation, Moosa was asked to appear yesterday.
