UNB, Dhaka :
Controversial business tycoon and DATCO Group chairman Moosa Bin Shamsher has submitted his wealth statement to the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC).
Moosa submitted his wealth statement to ACC secretary M Maksudul Hasan Khan on Sunday through a representative, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told UNB on Monday.
Earlier, on May 19, ACC deputy director and inquiry officer Mir Zoynul Abedin Shibly sent notice to DATCO Group’s Gulshan office seeking Shamsher’s wealth report.
Moosa Bin Shamsher featured in cover stories of
The Sunday Telegraph Magazine (London) and many other business magazines, including Business Asia, revealing that he has accumulated wealth worth about $7 billion.
Considering the reports published in international media about his lifestyle, income and income sources, the ACC on November 3, 2014 decided to launch a probe against ‘Prince’ Moosa, who is believed to have made his fortune selling arms during the Iran-Iraq war.
The notice the ACC sent to Moosa mentioned that there was an allegation that Tk 51,000 crore of Moosa is frozen in Swiss bank.
Shamsher, a pioneer of manpower export from Bangladesh, has drawn flak for purportedly being a prominent name in the international weapons industry during the 1970s and 1980s.
It is also alleged that Moosa has a Swiss bank account with 7 million US dollars frozen in it, because of ‘irregular’ transactions.
