Previously, the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit informed the ACC that they found around Tk42 crore to have been deposited in some bank accounts of Mosharraf, his family members and firms in the last few years.
The ACC suspects that Mosharraf amassed the wealth by abusing his post at the insurance regulator.
