Written by Sheikh Helal Uddin, a former member of parliament and cousin of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, is under scrutiny by the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU). The BFIU has taken significant actions against him and his family:
1. Bank Accounts Frozen: The BFIU has ordered the freezing of bank accounts belonging to Sheikh Helal Uddin, his wife Rupa Chowdhury, and his son Sheikh Tonmoy (also a former member of parliament).
2. Business Transactions Halted: In addition to freezing their personal bank accounts, the BFIU has also frozen the bank transactions of businesses owned by them.
3. Compliance Requirements: Banks and financial institutions across the country have been instructed to halt all transactions and submit detailed account-related information to the BFIU within five working days.
These actions are part of a broader investigation, and while the specific allegations leading to these measures were not detailed in the initial directive, the freezing of accounts typically indicates concerns over possible financial irregularities or illicit activities.
