The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has served notices to National Board of Revenue (NBR) official Matiur Rahman, his two wives, and their five offspring seeking their wealth information.
The notices were sent to their permanent addresses today (1 July), according to several ACC officials.
The ACC has already formed a three-member committee, headed by a deputy director, to investigate the allegations against the NBR official.
Customs official Matiur Rahman, who has been in the limelight over the controversy surrounding a Tk15 lakh goat purchase since Eid-ul-Azha this year, has been removed from his post as the president of the VAT tribunal of the National Board of Revenue and the directorship of state-owned Sonali Bank this week.
Besides, a Dhaka court has barred Matiur Rahman, his wife Laila Kaniz and their son Ahmed Taufiqur Rahman Arnab from travelling abroad.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has ordered all banks to freeze the beneficiary owner (BO) accounts of Matiur Rahman and his two wives, Laila Kaniz and Shammi Akter (Shibli), and their children, Iftima Rahman Madhuri, Mushfiqur Rahman Ifat, Farzana Rahman (Ipsita), Ahmed Taufiqur Rahman, and Irfanur Rahman Irfan, for 30 days.
