CID to file charge sheets against Salman in 17 cases soon

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will soon submit charge sheets in 17 money laundering cases filed against Beximco Group Vice Chairman Salman F Rahman and others over allegations of laundering $97 million under the guise of foreign trade.

Speaking on Sunday (November 9), CID Special Superintendent of Police Jasim Uddin Khan said the investigation revealed that large sums of foreign currency were illegally transferred abroad through various channels by opening fake letters of credit (LCs) in the name of foreign trade.

He added that the CID has recently completed its investigations and will submit the charge sheets to the court as soon as possible. Sources said several individuals and entities, including Salman F Rahman, have been named as accused in these cases.

Jasim Uddin Khan also said detailed information would be shared at a press conference at the CID headquarters on Sunday afternoon.
