Freeze bank accounts of 64 people, including PK Halder, for one more month: BFIU

Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has directed all banks to freeze the accounts of 64 people, including former NRB Global Bank managing director Proshanta Kumar Halder for one more month.

BFIU, the state's anti-money laundering agency, sent an order to all banks yesterday in this regard.

The order states that the accounts of 64 persons, operated in their own name or in their own interest (except listed companies in the stock market), will be remained blocked for the next 30 days.

Earlier, on August 12, 2020, the accounts of 83 people were kept frozen for the sake of investigation of a case filed for money laundering. However, the accounts of 19 people were later released from this list.
