A complaint has been filed against Major General (Retd) TM Jobayer, the former Director General of the Directorate of National Security Intelligence (NSI), accusing him of significant asset accumulation through illicit means and money laundering.
The complaint was submitted by a retired army officer to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) at its Segun Bagicha headquarters, detailing extensive allegations against Jobayer. A senior official of the commission confirmed the receipt of the complaint to Dhaka Tribune, noting that a preliminary inquiry into the accusations has already begun.
The complaint alleges that during his tenure, Jobayer amassed substantial wealth both domestically and internationally by engaging in corrupt practices and collaborating with high-ranking officials from the recently ousted Awami League government. The accusations include leveraging his position for personal gain by facilitating business deals and securing political endorsements.
Among the key allegations are claims that Jobayer's illegally acquired assets include a luxurious house in Gulshan-2, a resort in Gazipur, several properties in Uttara and Savar, and a flat in Segun Bagicha. Additionally, he is accused of owning a property in the UK valued at over Tk35 crore, which is registered under his name and that of his family members.
Efforts to reach Jobayer for comments have been unsuccessful as his phone remains switched off. Jobayer served as the NSI director general from 2018 to April 2024.
