The Bangladesh Bank’s anti-money laundering unit has asked all the banks and financial institutions to provide details of accounts held by former road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader.

The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) asked for the sum deposited, the dates of making deposits, and the identity of depositors with regards to Quader’s bank accounts.

On 27 August, the BFIU froze the bank accounts of Quader, also the general secretary of the Awami League.
