The Anti-corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday pressed charges against detained former law minister barrister Moudud Ahmed in a case filed in connection with amassing wealth through illegal means and withholding information about wealth from the commission.
The ACC alleged that Moudud amassed wealth worth over Tk 7.38 crore through illegal means and concealed information about wealth worth over Tk 4.40 crore from the commission.
ACC Assistant Director Mohammad Ibrahim, also the investigation officer (IO) of the case, submitted the charge sheet against the BNP leader before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court, Dhaka showing 82 people as prosecution witnesses.
On September 16, ACC Deputy Assistant Director Shariful Haque Siddiqui filed the case against Moudud with Gulshan Police Station in connection with amassing wealth beyond his known sources of income and withholding information about his assets.
The first information report (FIR) of the case said Moudud showed movable and immovable properties worth over Tk 13.23 crore in his account of wealth submitted to the ACC on July 23.
The anti-graft body in an investigation found out that his movable and immovable wealth is worth over Tk 17.63 crore.
The FIR said Moudud did not declare his wealth worth over Tk 4.40 crore and he has assets to the tune of Tk 7.38 crore which is disproportionate to his known sources of income.
In his statement, Moudud showed immovable properties worth over Tk 1.97 crore, five vehicles worth Tk 64.25 lakh, fixed depositreceipt (FDR) worth over Tk 9.77 crore in 22 accounts, over Tk 52.55 lakh deposited in 12 bank accounts and other movable properties worth over Tk 32 lakh.
The ACC investigation found out that the BNP leader owns immovable properties worth over Tk 2.37 crore, five vehicles worth Tk 64.25 lakh, FDR worth over Tk 12.51 crore in 22 accounts, and other movable properties valued at over Tk 1.57 crore. Besides, he has over Tk 53.51 lakh deposited in bank accounts.
The joint forces during a raid on April 13 last year detained him and seized 32 cans of beer and 16 bottles of other alcoholic beverages at his home.
The following day, Gulshan police filed a case against him under the Narcotics Control Act in connection with smuggling in and possessing contraband liquor.
Moudud has been behind bars since then.
Police later pressed charges against Moudud in that case and the case was transferred to the Second Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge’s Court for trial.
But, the High Court stayed the proceedings of the case for six months and the stay order was later extended to October 7, 2008.
