The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated a move to probe the allegation of money-laundering and accumulation of illegal wealth by DATCO Group chairman Dr Moosa Bin Shamsher, a controversial businessman.

“The Commission at its regular meeting Monday decided to launch a probe into the alleged graft of Dr Moosa Bin Shamsher,” ACC commissioner M Shahabuddin told reporters at his office.

Dr Moosa bin Shamsher featured as cover story in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine (London) and many other business magazines, including Business Asia, revealing that he has accumulated wealth worth about US$ 7 billion.

ACC commissioner Shahabuddin said that as per the reports published in international media about his lifestyle, income and income sources, the ACC thinks that ‘his wealth accumulation is unusual’. “So, the ACC has decided to launch a probe against Moosa (Bin Shamsher),” he added.

ACC deputy director Mir Zainul Abedin Shebly has been appointed to conduct probe into the alleged graft of Moosa, according to a news agency.
