The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is set to open over 300 secret lockers registered under the names of Bangladesh Bank officials in the presence of magistrates, the central bank confirmed on Wednesday, reports UNB.
This revelation has sent former and current corrupt officials of the central bank into a state of anxiety about their future.
These officials had kept valuables, including gold and foreign currencies, in these lockers, believing them to be secure under legal protection.
The ACC recently obtained court approval to open these lockers, as they suspect significant assets are being stored within, according to sources.
The ACC has also sent official letters to the relevant departments within Bangladesh Bank, requesting cooperation in opening the lockers.
Earlier, the ACC uncovered more than 300 secret lockers used to store the money and assets of bank officials in the security vault at Bangladesh Bank.
These lockers were reportedly linked to current and former senior VIP officials.
