The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) quizzed Meghna Group chairman and managing director of Tanveer Food Limited Mustofa Kamal Monday in connection with alleged money laundering.
ACC deputy director Joynul Abedin Shibly interrogated Mustofa Kamal for two hours from 3 pm at the ACC head office.
ACC sources said the importer of powdered milk in connivance with the customs officials laundered large amount of money through under-invoicing during 2010-2011.
ACC issued notice to Mustafa Kamal on Thursday to be present at ACC office with some necessary documents.
Later, he pleaded for time extension and ACC DD fixed Monday for the quizzing.
According to the allegation, during 2010 and 2011, the international prices of milk powder were from USD $3700-$3800 per metric tonne while Tanveer Food showed the prices between USD $3700 and $2400-$2400 per metric tonne. The rest of the money they sent through hundi.
ACC sources said Tanveer Food laundered large sum of money in two years through hundi which deprived state exchequer immensely.
