DHAKA, Oct 20, 2025 (BSS) - The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has submitted a charge sheet against Mohiuddin Ahmed, former chairman of Bangladesh Cooperative Bank, on charges of amassing illegal wealth and concealing assets.

ACC Deputy Director Md Jahangir Alam, who filed the case on October 16, submitted the charge sheet. The development was disclosed by ACC Director General (Prevention) Md Akhtar Hossain at a regular media briefing here.

Mohiuddin Ahmed, also a former joint secretary of fascist Awami League Dhaka South City unit, is accused of concealing assets worth Tk 46.37 lakh and illegally acquiring wealth amounting to Tk 3.55 crore beyond known sources of income.

Assistant Director Mohammad Monirul Islam led the investigation. According to the findings, Mohiuddin had declared assets worth Tk 1.96 crore in his wealth statement, but investigators found actual assets valued at Tk 2.42 crore. Additionally, Tk 2.96 crore was found in movable assets against his declared Tk 2.70 crore.

The probe revealed that his total wealth including income and expenses stood at Tk 10.21 crore, while his legitimate income was only Tk 6.65 crore. This indicates illegal earnings of Tk 3.55 crore, which the ACC believes he attempted to legitimize through various business fronts.

The ACC has approved the filing of charges against Mohiuddin Ahmed under Sections 26(2) and 27(1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, 2004, and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947.
