The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has started an investigation into illegal assets against ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

After recently taking a decision in this regard, the commission formed an investigation team on Sunday (May 18). The team headed by the agency's Deputy Director Masudur Rahman has been given the responsibility of investigating. A senior ACC source confirmed the matter.

The investigation team will uncover the true information by examining Sheikh Hasina's immovable and movable assets and her income tax documents.

Earlier, the ACC was conducting multiple investigations into plot fraud, money laundering abroad, and looting of project funds. Meanwhile, the court issued an arrest warrant against Sheikh Hasina after filing a chargesheet in the Purbachal plot fraud case.

On March 10, the agency filed six separate charge sheets against members of the family of ousted former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her sister Sheikh Rehana, former State Minister Sharif Ahmed, the Prime Minister's former private secretary Salahuddin, and 14 officials of the Ministry of National Housing and Public Works after finding evidence of allocating a 60-katha plot in Purbachal. Taking this into consideration, the court issued arrest warrants against the accused.

On the other hand, the ACC had summoned ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, former State Minister of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism Md. Mahbub Ali, and former Secretary of the same ministry Mokammel Haque for questioning in the investigation into allegations of looting of thousands of crores of taka in the name of development work at various airports in the country over the past 15 years. However, there was no reaction to the summons.
