The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has uncovered laundered assets worth nearly Tk 400 billion across several countries following an investigation by its Central Intelligence Cell. The revelations were shared at the State Guest House Jamuna in the presence of NBR Chairman Md Abdur Rahman Khan. The countries include Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, North Macedonia, Malta, St Lucia and Turkey. Yunus called the siphoning of national wealth “a grave act of treason” and urged coordinated action by the Anti-Corruption Commission, CIC and police. “We must set an example so no one dares loot the nation and build assets abroad again,” he said.
