The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has decided to interrogate 12 former top officials, including two former ACC commissioners, ex-secretaries, and judges, over alleged  unlawful allocation of apartments in an under-construction building in the capital’s Dhanmondi area.

Assistant Director Al Amin, team leader of the ACC investigation team, told UNB on Thursday that letters have been sent to their present and permanent addresses, asking them to appear for questioning in three phases on September 17, 18, and 21.

According to the Housing and Public Works Ministry, the flat allocations were canceled on July 8, as influence-peddling and policy violations were proven in the allocation process.
