The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), a wing of Bangladesh Bank's financial intelligence, on Wednesday sought bank accounts details of cricketer Shakib Al Hasan and his wife Umme Ahmed Shishir.
It sent a letter to banks and non-bank financial institutions in this regard.
The BFIU letter states that banks and non-bank financial institutions are asked to send the relevant documents, such as the account opening form, KYC, and transaction statement, to the BFIU within 5 working days from the date the letter is issued.
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) fined cricketer Shakib Al Hasan Tk 50 lakh on September 24 on the charge of manipulation in the stock market.
Shakib was former Member of Parliament of the government led by Sheikh Hasina, which was ousted by a student-led uprising in July-August of this year.
Besides, he has recently been implicated in a murder case. According to the case document, he was allegedly involved in ordering the killings of protesters during the student-led movement. However, he has not been convicted in court, nor has any arrest warrant been issued against him.
Amid criticism for his political career and off-form, the former Bangladesh captain and all-rounder Shakib announced his retirement from Tests and T20Is on September 26.
