The Cyber Police Centre (CPC) of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested two more members of a syndicate involved in online gambling and international money laundering.
An operational team from the Cyber Personnel Management and Development wing conducted drives in various parts of Narail district on Sunday to make the arrests.
The arrestees have been identified as Md Jashim Uddin ,33, and Suman Roy ,28.
According to the case statement, routine cyber monitoring uncovered several local and foreign-operated betting websites that advertised on social media, facilitated betting on international cricket and football matches, and operated online casinos.
The investigation found that the accused recruited agents across the country to collect Mobile Financial Service (MFS) and bank accounts for betting platforms.
After deducting commissions from gambling proceeds, the syndicate allegedly laundered the money abroad through various bank accounts and cryptocurrency platforms.
During initial interrogation, the suspects admitted to using agent SIMs registered in their own names as well as SIMs registered under others’ names to process deposits and withdrawals. Investigators also found evidence linking them to the management of the gambling websites.
The CID has previously made several arrests in connection with this case. The process of producing the latest two arrestees before the court is currently underway.
The CPC is continuing its operations to identify and apprehend other members of the network involved in illegal e-transactions and money laundering.
