A team from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) arrived at the Bangladesh Bank’s Motijheel branch on Saturday to open and inspect secure lockers as part of an ongoing anti-corruption investigation.
The eight-member team, led by ACC Director Sayemuzzaman, began their search around 12:30 pm. The inspection targets the safe deposit boxes of nearly 300 current and former high-ranking Bangladesh Bank officials, some of whom are suspected of storing wealth and valuable documents that may have been acquired through illicit means.
Sources indicated that authorities believe these lockers may contain undisclosed assets or documents related to corrupt practices. The ACC team will open the lockers under the supervision of an executive magistrate from the Dhaka District Administration, and a detailed inventory of the contents will be compiled during the search.
Should any assets be found that appear inconsistent with the officials’ declared sources of income, further investigations will follow to determine the legitimacy of these holdings.
The action is part of a broader effort by the ACC to combat financial irregularities and corruption within state institutions, targeting key players suspected of abusing their positions for personal gain.
