The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to investigate allegations of laundering 300 million US dollars against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajib Wazed Joy.

A senior source of the agency confirmed that such a decision was taken from the head office of the ACC on Sunday (December 22). Earlier, the ACC formed a five-member team to investigate allegations of corruption of Tk 80,000 crore in various projects against Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana family. The commission has instructed that team to investigate the complaints of the market.

According to complaint sources, a country’s intelligence agency recently conducted a preliminary investigation on former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajib Wazed Joy on allegations of bribery and corruption. In 2014, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajib Wazed Joy’s name came to the fore in the United States vs. Rizvi Ahmed case. The investigation of that intelligence agency revealed the serious financial scam of Sajeeb Wazed Joy.

In a report published on August 17 on a website named Global Defense Corp, the Hasina family embezzled 5 billion US dollars from the Rooppur nuclear power plant project. Sajeeb Wazed Joy’s name also comes up there.
