The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has accused former Awami League lawmaker Abdus Sobhan Golap of amassing ‘illicit assets’ worth over Tk 680 million at home and abroad, including nine flats and houses in the United States. On Wednesday, ACC Director General Akhtar Hossain said the case was being processed at the commission’s integrated district Dhaka-1 office. Citing the complaint, he said that Golap had accumulated over Tk 690 million in assets, including Tk 323.4 million in immovable property, Tk 371.6 million as movable assets, and Tk 2.5 million in family expenses. Highlighting Golap's legal and verifiable income amounted to Tk 104.4 million, the ACC official said he had acquired the remaining wealth of Tk 683.2 million "beyond known sources of income”. In addition, the ACC investigation uncovered evidence of "unusual and suspicious transactions" of Tk 976.3 million in 51 bank accounts linked to Golap, according to Akhtar.
