The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Thursday pleaded for a fresh probe in a money laundering case filed against three people including BNP leader and former MP Mosaddek Ali Falu.

ACC lawyer Mir Mohammad Ali Salam submitted the petition with the court of Dhaka’s Divisional Special Judge Syed Kamal Hossain. The court set December 1 for further hearing on the issue.

Confirming the matter to the media, Advocate Salam said the anti-graft body has found some lacking in the probe report, so further investigation is necessary.

The ACC on September 30, of last year, submitted the charge sheet against Falu, SAK Ikramuzzaman, Managing Director of RAK Ceramics and Rakhen Development Company Limited and Syed AK Anwaruzzaman, Director of Star Ceramics Private Limited. Later, on December 13 of last year, the court accepted the charge sheet of the case and issued an arrest warrant against Falu as he was on the run at that time.

The three people were accused of siphoning Taka 183.92 crore to Dubai through offshore companies. - Special Correspondent
