The Anti-Corruption Commission has sent letters to the Election Commission and the Department of Immigration and Passport, requesting NID and passport-related information of former NBR official Matiur Rahman and his family members.
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, was 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 after the ACC filed case against him on charge of amassing illegal wealth.
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.
