PK Halder transferred huge money to girlfriends’ accounts: ACC

The Anti-Corruption Commission has found that former NRB Global Bank managing director Proshanta Kumar Halder transferred huge amounts of money to 70 to 80 bank accounts of his ‘girlfriends’ from his company.

The commission found the evidence while investigating the layering of Tk 3,500 crore allegedly smuggled by PK Halder, ACC lawyer Khurshid Alam Khan told reporters on Sunday.

PK Halder, a director of International Leasing and Finance Service Limited, fled abroad after allegedly laundering a huge amount.

‘Money amounted in crores have been transacted into his girlfriends’ accounts,’ he said.

The lawyer also said that the females would be made accused, if it proved in the investigation.

He also said that an arrest warrant had already been sent to the Interpol through the home ministry to arrest PK Halder.

In November, the commission has taken an initiative to issue arrest warrant through the International Criminal Police Organisation, commonly known as Interpol, against PK Halder.

The commission has initiated the move to issue the arrest warrant against PK Halder through the National Counter Bureau of Interpol in Dhaka.
