The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) on Friday sought information about bank accounts of S Alam Group Chairman Mohammed Saiful Alam and his family members.
The BFIU also sought accounts details of bank accounts of other directors of S Alam Group and their family members.
"We have requested banks to provide information of bank accounts in their name, those they jointly hold, or in the name of business entities as early as possible," said a senior official of the anti-money laundering agency.
The BFIU sent letters to banks and non-bank financial institutions last evening. The BFIU also asked banks to provide information about lockers and savings certificates in the names of S Alam, his family members, directors of the group and their family members.
