According to court documents, the application was filed by ACC Deputy Director Tahasin Monabil Haque.
The petition stated that the accused colluded to create a fake company named AM Trading, through which they prepared and used forged documents. By abusing their authority, they allegedly misappropriated Tk104.20 crore in the name of loans.
The petition further said Saiful Alam laundered and transferred this amount, converting it into Tk340 crore, in favour of S Alam Super Edible Oil. These acts fall under Sections 409, 109, 420, 467, 468, 471 of the Penal Code 1860, along with Sections 4(2) and 4(3) of the Money Laundering Prevention Act, 2012.
It also mentioned that several attempts were made to arrest the accused during the investigation, but they remain absconding abroad.
"Therefore, we humbly request the Ministry of Home Affairs to take necessary measures to execute the arrest warrants against Mohammad Saiful Alam, Abdus Samad, and Mohammad Abdullah Hasan through Interpol," the ACC petition said.
