Charge against 16 Prime Bank officers okayed

DHAKA: The Anti Corruption Commission is likely to submit charge-sheet with the court against 38 people including 16 officials of Prime Bank Limited for misappropriation of Tk 95 crore.

The watchdog also recommended divisional punishment to 15 more officials of the bank in this regard. 

The commission, at a regular meeting on Wednesday, approved a charge-sheet against the 38 people for their alleged involvement with embezzlement of around Tk 95 crore from its Islamic banking branch after evidences supporting allegations were found against people concerned.

The accused had forged money by using passwords and showing fake loan customers from the bank’s different branches including city’s Motijheel branch.

Prime Bank’s senior vice president Iftejhar Hossain filed the case with Motijheel Thana on 29 March, 2012. Later, police sent it to the commission as it has money laundering allegation.
