ACC brings two charges against former land minister Saifuzzaman over ‘Tk 750mn bribery’The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has brought two charges against former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed, accusing him of taking bribes amounting to Tk 750 million from two businesses. The two cases allege that Saifuzzaman received Tk 550 million in bribes from HM Ship Breaking Industries Limited and Tk 200 million from Well Mart Limited (Textile unit). The money was reportedly transferred from Sarwar's loan accounts at UCB to institutions owned by Saifuzzaman, used for loan instalment payments and laundered overseas. On Sunday, a Chattogram court ordered Interpol to issue a red notice for both the former minister and his wife. Saifuzzaman, the son of late Awami League leader Akhtaruzzaman Chowdhury Babu and former MP for Chattogram-13, had previously served as state minister and later minister for land.
