Money laundering: ACC launches inquiry into Sinha's brother

Staff Correspondent:  The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has started a probe against former Chief Justice SK Sinha’s brother Ananta Kumar Sinha for money laundering to the USA and other financial crimes.

There is an allegation that Ananta Kumar Sinha bought a house worth $280,000 in the USA, amassing illegal wealth and money laundering.

A two-member probe body was formed shortly after the decision of ACC to probe the matter on Monday.

Public Relations Officer of ACC Pranab Kumer Bhattacharya told risingbd that the two-member team headed by ACC Assistant Director Gulshan Anwar has been given the responsibility to investigate the matter.

Earlier this week, at an event marking the launch of his autobiography, “A Broken Dream,” in Washington DC, the former chief justice said he has sought political asylum in the US.

The first non-Muslim chief justice of Bangladesh left the country on October 13, 2017 for Australia.
