The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to file a case against five people, including four officials of AB Bank, on charge of swindling of Tk 37.9 million from the bank.
The Commission at its regular meeting on Thursday approved a proposal for filing a case against the AB Bank officials and a businessman, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya told The Financial Express.
The case will be filed against assistant vice president of Uttara branch of the bank Syed Zahir Uddin Mohammad Mujib, assistant vice president and former manager of Motijheel branch Abu Saleh Abdul Majid, former manger of Mohakhali branch and senior assistant vice president ALM Badiuzzaman, former principal officer Faruque Ahmed Bhuiyan and Bushra Associates owner Khandaker Mahmud Ali.
ACC deputy director and inquiry officer Zainul Abedin Shebly conducted the probe into the graft allegation.
According to the probe report, all the accused in connivance with each other swindled about Tk 37.9 million from the bank through loan disbursement against fake documents.
Meanwhile, ACC Thursday interrogated five officials of Janata Bank in connection with the alleged embezzlement of nearly Tk 13 billion by Ananda Shipyard.
An ACC team, led by Mr Shebly, questioned them for about three hours from 10 am at the Commission's head office, Mr Bhattacharya said.
The Janata Bank officials, grilled Thursday, were former general manger M Nuruzzaman, deputy general manger Nazrul Islam, first assistant general managers Shamsunnahar Begum and Enamul Haque and assistant general manager Afzal Hossain.
In April 2014, the ACC launched a probe into the allegation of swindling nearly Tk 13 billion from 14 commercial banks and financial institutions by Ananda Shipyard, a manufacturer and exporter of ships.
On the other hand, ACC approved a charge-sheet to be filed against Soumendra Lal Chandra Shailel, former assistant personal secretary (APS) to ex-State Minister for Religious Affairs Advocate M Shahjahan Miah.
The Commission at its regular meeting on Thursday approved the charge-sheet against Shailel, in a graft case.
On June 2, 2014, ACC deputy director KM Meshbah Uddin filed a case with Ramna Police Station in the city against Shailel on graft charges.
According to the investigation report, Shailel amassed illegal wealth worth about Tk 11.2 million during 2009-2013 when he was an APS to former State Minister for Religious Affairs.
