ACC summons Mahi B Chowdhury again

Staff Correspondent:  The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has again summoned lawmaker Mahi B Chowdhury and his wife Ashfa Haque Lopa as they did not appear before the anti-graft body on Wednesday.

Without appearing, Mahi B Chowdhury sent a letter seeking time. In responding to the letter, the anti-graft body has again summoned them to appear at its Segunbagicha headquarters on August 25 to explain their position over their alleged involvement in money laundering.

Earlier on July 28, ACC summoned the lawmaker and his wife for interrogation over their alleged involvement in money laundering and for amassing wealth beyond their known sources of income.

ACC deputy director Jalal Uddin Ahmed sent two separate letters.

According to the letter, Mahi B Chowdhury, joint secretary-general of Bikalpadhara Bangladesh, have allegedly laundered money to the US and amassed wealth beyond known sources of income.

The notices were sent to House No. 19, Road No. 12, Baridhara, Gulshan, Dhaka.

The ACC sources said that the commission launched the investigation against the duo from June and found that they allegedly laundered money to the US and amassed wealth beyond their known sources of income.
