The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), a wing of Bangladesh Bank (BB), has ordered all banks across the country to freeze all accounts held by former Foreign Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud and his family members under money laundering act of 2012.
A senior official from the anti-money laundering agency confirmed the matter to journalists on Sunday.
Hasan Mahmud was detained at Dhaka airport the day after former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s resignation.
