The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) said that it has detected irregular transactions amounting to over Tk 600 crore through e-wallets operated by digital financial service provider Nagad.
A team from the commission conducted a raid at Nagad's office on Wednesday in response to allegations of money laundering through its platform, ACC spokesperson and Deputy Director (PR) Aktarul Islam told UNB.
According to the complaint, Nagad allegedly created an excessive amount of e-money and laundered funds through multiple foreign companies.
"During the raid, an initial review of statements and records revealed the validity of the complaint. Our findings indicate that Nagad carried out irregular transactions exceeding Tk 600 crore through e-wallets," said Aktarul Islam.
Besides, a discrepancy was found between Nagad’s trust account and its main account, raising further concerns.
The ACC team has collected all relevant documents for a detailed verification of the allegations.
A comprehensive report will be submitted to the commission following a thorough review of the collected records, the spokesperson added.
