Chairman of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) M Badiuzzaman said that ACC would not investigate the reported allegation that some Bangladeshi citizens have their accounts in the Swiss Bank and deposited Tk 30 billion.
“We will not investigate the matter as it does not fall in the jurisdiction of the commission as per law”, ACC Chairman told The New Nation in an exclusive interview on Monday.
“It is the duty of Bangladesh Bank (BB) to inquiry whether the money was legally deposited or laundered. Nonetheless if the BB requests the anti-graft body, it will consider”, he said.
BB has already initiated official process to ascertain if the money was deposited or laundered.
The Economic Intelligence Office has established contact with its counterpart in Switzerland’s Central Banking Authority and sent a proposal to share monetary information.
