Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said that they have found one individual has sent TK400 crore as tuition fees for his son studying abroad during the Awami League regime.
"Many children go abroad to study. In one case, it was seen that Tk400 crore was sent abroad as tuition fees for a semester for a son. See how the money laundering was done. However, for the sake of investigation, we are not revealing the name of the person.
He revealed the information on Monday while speaking at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital.
The press secretary said, "They laundered money using such innovative methods. We knew that money was laundered through over-invoicing and under-invoicing, through the banking system or hundi. But Tk400 crore was found through loopholes in some places. Does anyone in the world have tuition fees of Tk400-500 crore Taka?”
The interim government has already formed an 11-member task force to bring back the laundered money abroad, he added.
