DHAKA: Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) filed a five-day remand plea at Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate`s Court against BNP standing committee member Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain.

The ACC Deputy Director Ahsan Ali came up with the disclosure while talking to banglanews on Thursday after interrogation.

Earlier in the morning, the Anti Corruption commission (ACC) interrogated the BNP leader at the commission’s Segun Bagicha office in the capital on charges of money laundering.

On Wednesday, a team of ACC and Gulshan Thana Police jointly conducted a drive and raided Khandaker Mosharraf’s Gulshan residence and picked up him around 10:00pm Wednesday for his alleged involvement in laundering money.

The anti-graft body further said that the BNP leader deposited around Tk 9.5 crore illegally in two UK-based banks in 2001-2005 while he was minister of BNP-led government. Mosharraf owned a huge amount of wealth during that period, ACC sources added.
