The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) decided Thursday to investigate the alleged illegal wealth of personal assistant (PA) to former state minister for housing and public works Abdul Mannan Khan.
The decision was taken at a regular meeting of the Commission, the anti-graft body officials told the reports.
ACC officials said the Commission took the decision after getting corruption allegations against Ileas Khan Sabuj, PA to the former state minister.
He accumulated large amount of money by abusing power of the minister, they said.
Assistant Director of the Commission Md Amirul Islam has been appointed investigation officer.
The ACC is now investigating corruption charges against seven former ministers and members of parliament (MPs) and Mr Khan is one of them.
The others are: former health minister AFM Ruhal Haque, state minister for water resources Mahbubur Rahman, lawmaker of Cox's Bazar-4 Abdur Rahman Bodi, MP of Rajshahi-4 Engineer Enamul Haq, Aslamul Haque of Dhaka-14 and Abdul Jabbar of Satkhira.
Media reports on huge discrepancies between wealth statements of the ministers and MPs that they submitted to the Election Commission (EC) ahead of the 10th parliamentary elections and the statements they had provided prior to the 9th national polls in 2008 created furore among the people.
