ACC to sue MP Shahid, wife

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) plans to file a money laundering case against Laxmipur-3 MP Mohammad Shahid Islam alias Kazi Papul, his wife MP Salina Islam and two other family members, reports bdnews24.com.

ACC found an 'illegal transaction and money laundering' worth Tk 1.48 billion in the account held by Jasmine, Shahid's sister-in-law, leading it to file a case, said ACC spokesman Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya.

"Today the commission has approved the case to be filed. Deputy Director Salahuddin will file it soon," he said.

The commission summoned and interrogated Salina Islam and her sister Jasmine on July 22.
