The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has directed banks to submit detailed account information for several former Bangladesh Bank officials, including three ex-governors, four former deputy governors, and two former heads of the BFIU.
The request targets former governors Atiur Rahman, Fazle Kabir, and Abdur Rouf Talukder, alongside deputy governors Shitangshu Kumar Sur Chowdhury, SM Moniruzzaman, Kazi Sayedur Rahman, and Abu Farah Md Nasser.
Former BFIU heads Abu Hena Mohammad Razee Hassan and Md Masud Biswas are also named.
On August 6, the BFIU instructed banks to provide documents such as account opening forms, transaction histories, and Know Your Customer (KYC) records within three working days, along with details of any closed accounts.
The BFIU request follows investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
This is part of an ongoing probe into alleged financial irregularities during the Awami League government, which came to light following the political shift on August 5, 2024.
