ACC scraps probe into non-funded part of SB loan scam

The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has revoked its ongoing probe into the non-funded part of the much-talked-about Sonali Bank (SB) loan scam as the anti-graft body found it out of its jurisdiction.
“Sonali Bank and Bangladesh Bank will conduct probes in this regard as the non-funded part of the loan scam is out of our (ACC) jurisdiction,” ACC chairman M Badiuzzaman told UNB.
Hall-Mark Group swindled out a total of Taka 35.47 billion from the Sonali Bank — both funded and non-funded ones.
The controversial group swindled out Tk 15.68 billion from the bank’s Ruposhi Bangla branch in cash while it plundered Tk 17.09 billion from different private banks showing clearance of the Sonali Bank.
