All banks have been instructed to freeze accounts of Additional DIG at the police headquarters Gazi Md Mozammel Haque, former Chattogram-15 MP Abu Reza Muhammad Nezamuddin Nadwi and their family members.
The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) gave the order today (21 August) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2012.
At the same time, directives were given to suspend transactions of businesses owned by all these individuals.
A senior BFIU official confirmed the matter to TBS, stating that the directives were issued through several letters sent to all banks and financial institutions on Wednesday (21 August).
"We previously instructed the relevant authorities to file Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). Today's instructions were issued after receiving STRs and SARs from the banks concerning the accounts of these individuals," he said.
