The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has written a letter to Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) requesting information regarding former national cricket team captain Shakib Al Hasan’s investments in the stock market.

In the letter sent recently, the ACC has sought details of his financial transactions, share ownership, investments, and income-expenditure records related to various companies associated with Shakib, also a former Awami League lawmaker.

The commission launched an investigation into allegations against Shakib involving money laundering, stock market manipulation, and accumulation of illegal wealth.

A two-member committee led by ACC Deputy Director Mahbubul Alam has been tasked to uncover the illicit assets.
