The US government has sought help from Bangladesh to obtain the bank and business records of a suspect in a fake jobs scam case. The US Department of Justice’s Office of International Affairs prepared a letter addressed to family members and relatives of the suspect, Muksedur Rahman, reports Saipan Tribune. Muksedur and his co-schemers allegedly instructed the victims to make payments to his (Muksedur) various relatives and in-laws living here. He said witnesses who were present when the payments were made will corroborate the cash payments, and business records will corroborate the payments deposited into Muksedur family members’ bank accounts. The defendants were charged with 17 counts such as mail fraud, fraud in foreign labour contracting, and fraud and misuse of visas and permits.
