ACC withdraws case against MGH Group CEO Anis Ahmed
The case was filed on December 28, 2022, against Anis on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 136 crores
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday (14 October) withdrew a case filed against Anis Ahmed, the Founder and CEO of MGH Group, on charges of amassing illegal wealth.
The development came after Judge Mohammad Ash-Shams Joglul Hossain, of Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge's Court, issued the order yesterday, following the submission of an application by ACC seeking withdrawal of prosecution of the case under Section 494 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
The court also cleared Anis of all charges in the case.

Public Prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam, who represented the anti-graft watchdog, confirmed the matter to The Business Standard.
The ACC filed the case against Anis on December 28, 2022, with its Integrated District Office in Dhaka-1 on charges of amassing illegal wealth worth Tk 136 crores. Earlier, in February 2020, the ACC had interrogated Anis at the commission.
In March this year, the ACC approved and filed a charge sheet in court in the case against Anis on the charge of illegal acquisition of Tk 17.22 crore.
However, in the application submitted in court yesterday, the ACC said that since there was no evidence against him to proceed with this case, the case should be withdrawn.
