The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has directed banks to freeze all personal accounts of Bashundhara Group Chairman Ahmed Akbar Sobhan, his son and Managing Director Sayem Sobhan Anvir, and their family members for 30 days. The freeze also includes locker facilities.
Family members affected include Sadat Sobhan, Shafiat Sobhan, Sonia Ferdowshi Sobhan, and Sabrian Sobhan.
Banks have also been asked to provide account details of Safwan Sobhan and his wife, Yeasha Sobhan, within two days. The move follows a Criminal Investigation Department probe into money laundering allegations against the family.
