The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to file a case against former Directorate General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) chief Sheikh Mamun Khaled over allegations of abuse of power, money laundering, illegal wealth acquisition and providing undue privileges to the ousted government, officials said.
According to ACC sources, the anti-graft agency is also preparing to sue Khaled's wife, Nigar Sultana, and brother-in-law, Aminur Rahman, in connection with alleged financial irregularities and other offenses.
The commission's preliminary investigation reportedly found evidence suggesting that Khaled abused his official position and used his influence to provide benefits to individuals and entities associated with the former government. Investigators are also examining allegations that he accumulated and transferred illicit funds through various channels.
Nigar Sultana and Aminur Rahman have allegedly been involved in financial transactions linked to the former intelligence chief, according to the ACC. The commission is examining their assets, bank accounts and other financial records as part of the investigation.
ACC officials said the cases would be filed after completing the necessary legal procedures and reviewing the evidence collected during the inquiry.
The move comes amid a broader anti-corruption drive targeting individuals accused of exploiting positions of authority during the previous administration. The ACC has been investigating allegations of corruption, illicit wealth accumulation, money laundering and abuse of power involving several former officials and their associates.
