Anti-Corruption Commission on Tuesday filed two money laundering cases against 22 officials of Destiny 2000 Ltd including its Chairman Rafiqul Amin for embezzling over Tk 3285 crore.
ACC Assistant Director Md Towfiqul Islam and Deputy Director Mozahar Ali Sardar filed the cases separately with Kalabagan Police Station in the afternoon.
In the cases, the two ACC officials said Destiny 2000 Ltd misappropriated the money in the names of tree plantation project and Destiny Multipurpose Cooperative Society.
Towfiqul Islam filed the case against Rafiqul Amin, Lt Gen M Harunur Rashid, director of Destiny 200 Ltd, and 20 other officials on charge of embezzling over Tk 1178 crore from Destiny’s tree plantation project.
Twelve Destiny officials including Rafiqul Amin and Harunur Rashid were sued in the other case filed by the ACC deputy director bringing allegation that the accused misappropriated over Tk 2106 crore from the cooperative society.
There were only Tk 56 lakh left for the cooperative society and Tk 4.87 crore for the tree plantation project after the money was transferred, the plaintiff said.
If the allegation proved, the accused will have to give double money to the victims through the government according to the ACC law.
Movable and immovable property of the accused could be confiscated and they could be jailed for minimum 12 years, the ACC officials said.
