DHAKA, July 17, 2025 (BSS) - A Dhaka court has ordered the freezing of 125 bank accounts linked to former foreign minister and Awami League joint general secretary Dr. Hasan Mahmud and his associates.

The accounts include four under the name of Hasan Mahmud's daughter, Nafisa Jumaina Mahmud, and 121 accounts associated with the NNK Foundation, which is reportedly connected to the former minister, according to Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) sources.

Acting Judge M. Ibrahim Mia of the Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court passed the order on Wednesday following an appeal by the ACC.

The ACC in its petition alleged that Dr. Hasan Mahmud misused his position during his tenure as minister, illegally amassing wealth amounting to Tk 1.11 crore. Additionally, he is accused of laundering Tk 39.76 crore through nine bank accounts via unauthorized transfers and transactions.

The commission noted that the financial activity in these 125 accounts is "abnormal and suspicious," and that the involvement of Mahmud's family members including his daughter and two brothers has been identified. The wealth reportedly exceeds his declared sources of income.

A case has already been filed in connection with the matter, the ACC confirmed.
