ACC Deputy Assistant Director and investigation officer Md Al Amin submitted the petition seeking the travel ban.
In the petition, it was stated that Ekram Hossain and his brother Binas Hossain have been accused of illegally laundering an estimated Tk15,000 crore to Tk20,000 crore.
According to ACC, the accused individuals and their family members own substantial movable and immovable assets both at home and abroad.
It was further stated that they are attempting to transfer these assets to various places. Therefore, imposing a travel ban on them is necessary to prevent the transfer of assets and to preserve evidence related to the alleged offences.
