The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU)
has asked banks to freeze all accounts belonging to Mahbubul Alam Hanif, a
former lawmaker and joint general secretary of Awami League.
The BFIU has sent directives to all banks and financial institutes in this
regard today.
The anti-money laundering agency also instructed banks to suspend the
transactions in the personal and privately-owned institutional accounts of
Hanif for a period of 30 days in the first instance.
The intelligence unit also sought an update of the accounts within two
working days since the issuance of the order.
