CHATTOGRAM, July 13, 2025 (BSS)- The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has 
filed a case against former Member of Parliament (MP) of Awami League (AL) 
from Chittagong-6 (Raozan) constituency ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury on charges 
of acquiring illegal assets worth Taka 5.94 crore and engaging in suspicious 
transactions worth Taka 10.86 crore. 

Deputy Assistant Director of the ACC Head Office Md. Nizam Uddin filed the 
case with its Chattogram integrated office on Sunday, ACC Deputy Director 
Subel Ahmed confirmed the matter to the newsmen.

According to the case documents, it was discovered that the accused Fazle 
Karim Chowdhury had acquired assets worth Taka 11.95 crore and movable assets 
worth Taka 12.13 crore, totaling Taka 24.08 crore during the investigation.

No information was found regarding his loans or liabilities related this 
assets acquisition. A review of his income tax documents showed that his 
legal and acceptable income from acquiring the assets was Taka 18.13 crore.

Therefore, based on records, assets worth Taka 5.94 crore were found to 
exceed his legal and acceptable income, which contradicts his known income in 
the initial investigation.

In addition, he attempted to conceal the illegal source of money earned 
through corruption by engaging in unusual financial transactions of Taka 
10.864 crore in 12 bank accounts. 

Subel Ahmed said that Fazle Karim Chowdhury committed the crime of money 
laundering by retaining his illegal assets and engaging in suspicious bank 
transactions. 

The ACC has filed a case against him under the Anti-Corruption Commission Act 
of 2004, the Prevention of Corruption Act of 1947 and the Prevention of Money 
Laundering Act of 2012. 

ABM Fazle Karim Chowdhury was arrested from Akhaura Border area in 
Brahmanbaria district on September 12 last year while trying to go to India 
illegally.

Later, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) announced his arrest on the day.
