The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has brought back over Tk44 crore laundered abroad through fraud.

CID Special Police Superintendent Jasim Uddin Khan disclosed the information on Sunday.

He said, “A portion of the funds siphoned overseas through the widely reported MTFE (Metaverse Foreign Exchange) scam has been successfully recovered and repatriated. So far, over Tk44 crore has been retrieved.”

Jasim added that a significant sum had been illegally transferred abroad through this scam, and the CID had been working for a long time to recover it.

“Continuous efforts and international cooperation made the repatriation possible,” he said.

CID officials said operations are ongoing to recover the remaining funds, and investigations into the case are continuing.
