Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked for the bank account details of journalist Munni Saha. A senior BFIU official confirmed the order on Sunday, citing provisions under the Prevention of Money Laundering Rules as the basis for the inquiry.
BFIU’s formal letter, issued to financial institutions, includes Munni Saha’s name and passport details, instructing banks to provide comprehensive information on her financial activities. The request mandates the submission of critical documents, including account opening forms, Know Your Customer (KYC) records, transaction statements, and details of loans, credit cards, foreign trade dealings, offshore banking accounts, and any safe deposit lockers linked to her.
Banks have been given a strict deadline to comply, with all required documents expected to reach the BFIU by Monday, October 7.
