The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent a letter to Interpol to bring back seven money launderers who have fled abroad.
ACC Chairman Iqbal Mahmood made the disclosure at a press briefing at the anti-graft agency's headquarters in Dhaka on Tuesday.
He, however, declined to disclose the names of the seven money launderers in question.
Earlier on February 5, Iqbal Mahmood said the ACC has decided to bring back those who had fled abroad after the commission filed cases against them under the money laundering act.
Following a query, the ACC chief said a court order was also acquired for an ACC delegation to investigate and seek information in Singapore on the casino scandal.
However, the procedure was halted following the coronavirus outbreak, he added.
At the same time, he also said ACC will take action if a person has been amassing illegal wealth by hiking prices of medicines despite government warning.
In reply to another query, the chairman said the anti-graft watchdog will take steps against Shamima Nur Papia, expelled general secretary of Jubo Mohila League's Narsingdi unit, if it receives authentic information against her.
