Dhaka, May 18 (V7N) – The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated an investigation into allegations of illegal assets against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The commission formed an investigation team on Sunday (May 18), appointing Deputy Director Masudur Rahman to lead the inquiry.

The team will examine Sheikh Hasina’s movable and immovable assets, as well as her income tax records, to verify the authenticity of the claims.

This move follows ongoing ACC investigations related to plot fraud, money laundering abroad, and embezzlement of development project funds involving Sheikh Hasina. Recently, a court issued an arrest warrant against her in connection with a chargesheet filed in the Purbachal plot fraud case.

Moreover, the ACC is preparing to file another case accusing Sheikh Hasina of misappropriating funds related to an airport development project.
