The Anti‑Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed a case against Customs Clearing and Forwarding (C&F) Agent Md Shamsur Rahman for allegedly acquiring assets worth more than Tk52.75 crore that are inconsistent with his known income, and for providing false information in his asset statement.
ACC Executive Director Akhtar Hossain disclosed this information to journalists today (30 September) at the commission's Segunbagicha office.
The ACC said its investigation revealed that Shamsur Rahman had declared assets worth Tk31.28 crore in his submitted asset statement. However, verification showed his total assets, including movable and immovable property, amounted to Tk64.81 crore. In addition, family and other expenditures totalled Tk29.33 crore, bringing his net assets to Tk94.14 crore.
