The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has ordered all scheduled banks to submit comprehensive banking details of three past governors and six former deputy governors of Bangladesh Bank, acting on a request from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC).
In a circular issued Wednesday, banks were told to provide account statements, account opening documents, Know Your Customer (KYC) forms, and any other relevant records—even for accounts that are no longer active—within three working days.
The former governors whose records are sought are Dr. Atiur Rahman, Fazle Kabir, and Abdur Rouf Talukder. The former deputy governors named in the directive are SK Sur Chowdhury, Md. Masud Biswas, Abu Hena Mohd. Razee Hassan, SM Moniruzzaman, Kazi Saidur Rahman, and Abu Farah Md. Nasser.
According to officials, the request is tied to an ACC probe into suspected corruption, abuse of authority, and unexplained asset accumulation during their time in office. The BFIU will compile the information to support financial forensics and possible legal proceedings, with all data to be handled in line with anti-money laundering laws.
The move underscores an intensified push for accountability and transparency at the highest levels of Bangladesh’s financial sector.
