The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has written to 11 countries seeking information on the assets of former head of the financial sector intelligence agency Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), Masood Biswas. The countries include the United States, Canada, Australia, Dubai, Malaysia and Singapore.

At the same time, the ACC has written to the Additional Inspector General of Police Special Branch (SB) to take appropriate measures to prevent him from leaving the country.

This information was informed in a separate letter signed by Deputy Director Gulshan Anwar from the head office of the ACC on Thursday.

ACC Public Relations Officer Aktarul Islam confirmed the matter.

In the letter, it is said that Masud has been accused of abuse of power, accepting bribes, misappropriation of money through various irregularities and corruption and acquiring known non-income assets worth crores of rupees.

Before this, the ACC decided to investigate Masood Biswas on September 25. After getting the initial facts in the investigation of the agency's intelligence unit, it was decided to open an investigation against him.

According to the source of the complaint, the recently resigned head of BFIU, Masud Biswas, has been accused of accepting bribes in various ways apart from assisting in money laundering. Masood played a silent role in the money laundering case involving Hallmark and Bismillah in 24 major cases involving a financial scam of 92 thousand crore rupees.

It is alleged that the Cash Transaction Report (CTR) was not verified by the BFIU, the villain behind which was Masud. There are also allegations that the BFIU has conducted an average of 8-10 major investigations a year for the past few years and has taken financial advantage.
