The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday night filed another 23 cases in connection with the swindling of money from state-run Basic Bank Limited, reports UNB. ACC inquiry officials filed 12 cases with Gulshan Police Station while eight with Paltan Police Station and three with Motijheel Police Station tonight, ACC public relations officer Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya said. Earlier on Monday , the ACC filed 18 cases in connection with swindling of around Tk 747 crore from thje same bank.
ACC deputy director Mahbubul Alam and deputy assistant directors AKM Fazle Hossain and Zainal Abedin filed the cases against 153 people, including former managing director Kazi Fakhrul Islam, for allegedly plundering around Tk 747 crore from Gulshan and Mtijheel local branches of Basic Bank. Although 153 people were sued in the cases, the number of actual accused would be less as many of them are common in the cases. About Tk 4,500 crore was swindled out from the bank when Sheikh Abdul Hye Bachhu was its chairman.
