ACC Probes Former Envoy Muna Tasneem Over $160M Money Laundering Allegations

ACC Deputy Director Aktarul Islam confirmed on Monday that letters have been sent to the NBR and BFIU to collect relevant documents. The probe focuses on her tenure in London from 2018 to 2024 during the previous Awami League administration.

According to the allegations, Tasneem’s husband, Touhidul Islam Chowdhury, used his firm 'Generation Next Fashion Ltd' along with several shell companies to embezzle and siphon funds from various financial institutions. Despite repeated summons, the couple has failed to appear before the commission. Simultaneously, the ACC is scrutinizing corruption charges against former DNCC administrator Mohammad Ejaz regarding the Gabtoli cattle market and e-rickshaw projects, with the court already imposing a travel ban on him.
