CID arrests 3 for online gambling, money maundering
Cyber Police Center (CPC) of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested three members of an organized online gambling and illegal money laundering syndicate during raids in different areas of Chattogram.
The arrested individuals were identified as Md Ala Uddin, 42, Shahadat Hossain, 32, and Md Sahab Uddin, 48.
According to a CID press release, the syndicate had been operating international and local online betting platforms in Bangladesh, using mobile financial services, bank accounts, and crypto currency wallets for illegal transactions.
Investigators said the group promoted betting websites through social media and online platforms, targeting cricket, football, and other sporting events.
During the operation, law enforcers seized five mobile phones, ATM cards, and cheque books allegedly used for the illegal operations.
CID officials said the group regularly changed mobile banking agent numbers and bank accounts to avoid detection, while illegal proceeds were reportedly laundered abroad through bank transactions and crypto currency conversions. The case was filed with Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Paltan Model Police Station under several sections of the Cyber Security Ordinance, 2025.
Authorities said the arrested suspects admitted their involvement during preliminary interrogation.
CID stated that investigations and drives to identify and arrest other members of the network are ongoing.
