The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against 30 individuals, including Md Aminul Islam, managing director of Rajshahi-based Nabil Group of Industries, on charge of embezzling and laundering over Tk 950 crore from Islami Bank.
ACC Director General Md Akhter Hossain informed the media that the case was lodged at the ACC’s integrated district office on Wednesday.
He said that these individuals, in collusion, “abused their power” to withdraw huge amounts of money from the Gulshan Circle-1 branch of Islami Bank in the name of buying and selling real goods but instead were “opening fake companies and using fake documents”.
The ACC official said that they later “transferred and converted” this money, which is what led to a case being filed against them.
Officials of Islami Bank at various levels, members of the then executive committee, the head of Nabil Group and related persons, and people related to S Alam Group are made accused in the case.
Among them are Nabil Group’s Managing Director Md Aminul Islam, his uncle and Rajshahi’s Market Master Analyst Md Shariful Islam, Naogaon’s Market Master Analyst and Group Director Md. Shah Alam.
