A supplemental petition was filed in the High Court on Thursday seeking court directives to investigate the assets of 459 Bangladeshis in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The court fixed Sunday for hearing the petition.
The bench of Justice Md Nazrul Islam Talukder and Justice Khizir Hayat passed the order.
Advocate Subir Nandi Das appeared for the petition in court.
Earlier, Advocate Subir Nandi Das filed the petition making the anti-corruption commission, BFIU, NBR and CID defendants.
The application was made based on a report published in a national daily titled “Thousands of properties of 459 Bangladeshis in Dubai” on Wednesday.
A part of that report said large amounts of capital are being transferred to Dubai openly and secretly from different countries.
With the reinvestment of this money, Dubai's financial and real estate sectors are booming.
Based on the analysis of data collected by the US-based Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS), the EU Tax Observatory said 459 Bangladeshis bought properties in Dubai by concealing information in Bangladesh.
A total of 972 properties were purchased in Dubai till 2020. The value of these properties is $312 million on paper. However, the value of these properties is much higher, the stakeholders assume.
