Authorities on Sunday seized 23 sacks of documents of the huge assets of former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, including evidence of money laundering and illegal overseas property purchases.
A joint team, including Anti-Corruption Commission officials, recovered the sacks from the house of Osman Talukdar, a neighbor of Saifuzzaman鈥檚 wife Rukhmila Zaman鈥檚 driver Md Ilias Talukder.
ACC deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam confirmed it to 抖阴精品.
ACC officials said that the documents, originally removed from Aramit Group鈥檚 Kalurghat industrial facility on September 16, were allegedly hidden by the driver of United Commercial Bank former chairperson Rukmila Zaman. They were first kept at driver Ilias Talukder鈥檚 home in Shikalbaha Union under Karnaphuli Police Station and later moved to a neighbor鈥檚 house shortly before a raid was carried out on September 18.
In the early hours of Sunday (around 4:15am), a joint team recovered the sacks from the house of Osman Talukdar, a neighbor of the driver.
The seizure was conducted in the presence of police, the acting union parishad chairman, and local witnesses.
Initial checks show the records go beyond previously reported 582 assets in the United Kingdom, the United States, Dubai, and Singapore.
ACC officials said that the papers revealed fresh details of properties in India, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
They also include ownership deeds, rental income records, maintenance costs, and indications of large-scale money transfers abroad.
鈥楢 task force is reviewing the documents and will submit concrete findings to the Anti-Corruption Commission,鈥� said Aktarul Islam.
