The anti-graft body in its plea said Shuchona during her tenure as CCC mayor amassed illegal wealth of Tk3.04 crore and made suspicious transactions of Tk42.58 crore through 16 bank accounts.
A case has already been lodged against her in this regard. But all the properties acquired by her have not been identified till now.
The ACC said her immovable properties should be attached and bank accounts should be frozen, so that she cannot hand over or transfer that elsewhere.
