DHAKA, Aug 28, 2025 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today ordered freezing of 120 additional bank accounts belonging to former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, as well as those of his associates and entities linked to him.
Acting Judge of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court Ibrahim Miah passed the order, granting a plea filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
In its petition, the anti-graft body said a nine-member joint probe team comprising officials from the ACC, CID and NBR has been formed to investigate allegations of money laundering against the former minister, his associates and related entities.
“Based on their investigation, the court earlier froze 39 bank accounts of Saifuzzaman and people linked to him.
Later, Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) traced 120 more accounts, which need to be frozen immediately as the probe is ongoing,” the ACC plea stated.
