The ACC said that allegations are under investigation against Harun for acquiring illegal assets worth approximately Tk1,000 crore and for money laundering. An inquiry officer has already been appointed to investigate and submit a report.
During the investigation, authorities reportedly found substantial illegal movable assets registered in the names of Harun and his wife. However, no satisfactory source of income corresponding to these assets has been identified.
The ACC informed the court that there is evidence suggesting attempts to transfer or dispose of these assets. If such transfers occur, it could result in irreparable loss to the state, making it necessary to freeze the assets.
