ACC approves charge-sheet against five

FE Report | Friday, 20 March 2015



The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has approved a charge-sheet in a case filed against five people, including four bank officials, for allegedly swindling out over Tk 75 million from then Oriental Bank Ltd, now ICB Islami Bank Ltd.
The anti-graft watchdog at its regular meeting on Thursday gave its approval to submit the charge-sheet against former senior assistant vice president of Oriental Bank Ltd (head office) M Manzurul Alim, its former assistant vice president Tariqul Alam Khan, former senior assistant vice president Mushtaque Ahamad and former assistant executive officer Saiful Aziz Pavel and Khairul Anam, a resident of Comilla.
The ACC is set to submit the charge-sheet before the court very soon.
The accused bank officials disbursed loans against fake documents of a private company, M/S Orbit International, during the period between 2005 and 2006 and the bank officials in connivance with Khairul Anam embezzled over Tk 75 million.
In April 2014, the ACC filed the case against the five under the Prevention of Corruption Act 1947 and Penal Code 1860.
