DHAKA, Feb 4, 2025 (BSS) - The enforcement team of Anti-Corruption Commission 
(ACC) has got a Fixed Deposit Receipt (FDR) at IFIC Bank in the name of the 
Center for Research and Information (CRI). 

ACC Director General (prevention) Md Akhter Hossain told the reporters at the 
ACC headquarters this afternoon. 

He said the ACC's Enforcement Team had launched a raid at the CRI office but 
its office was found closed today.

During the raid, they collected CRI's banking records from various financial 
institutions, including Dutch-Bangla Bank, IFIC Bank and Sonali Bank, the DG 
mentioned. 

The ACC, country's anti-graft watchdog, found an FDR of Taka 35.21 crore at 
the IFIC Bank while it got the record of Sonali Bank's transaction against 
CRI. 

Based on secret information, the ACC conducted its drive against the CRI, the 
ACC official said.

The ACC investigation found that the CRI's Board of Directors abused the 
state funds for implementing various political agendas in different items.

"According to the information received here, it (ACC) found that the name of 
CRI Chairman Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed, also known as Sajeeb Wazed Joy, Vice-
Chairman Saima Wazed Putul and the trustees-- Radwan Mujib Siddiq and Nasrul 
Hamid-- were connected with the FDR," the DG added.
