The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has written to a number of banks to enquire about claims of 36,000 crore taka in misappropriation against Salman F. Rahman, the former prime minister’s advisor on investment and industry. 63 banks received letters written by Sajjad Hossain, the agency’s associate director, on Tuesday, October 22. The agency has also asked for information from a number of institutions, such as the Dhaka-Gazipur City Corporation, the Housing Authority, and Rajuk. According to the allegations against him, Salman F. Rahman manipulated shares to steal thousands of crores from clients and exploited his power to embezzle 36,000 crore taka in loans from both public and commercial institutions, which were subsequently sent abroad.
