A preliminary review shows that Beximco has taken loans from seven banks through fraud in the last 15 years and smuggled them abroad, the CID said on Sunday.
It has taken loans of Tk 21,681 crore from Janata Bank, Tk 5,218 crore from IFIC Bank, Tk 295 crore from National Bank, Tk 5,671 crore from Sonali, Agrani, and Rupali Bank, and Tk 605 crore from AB Bank.
In addition, there are allegations that Beximco has stolen Tk 27,000 crore from the market through fraud and forgery in the last few years.
Most of the money of Beximco Pharmaceuticals, a joint venture in Saudi Arabia, was laundered from Bangladesh through over-invoicing, under-invoicing and hundi, the CID said.
