DHAKA – The Central Intelligence Cell of the National Board of Revenue has recovered 832.51 bhori gold ornaments from two vaults registered under the name of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina at Agrani Bank’s principal branch in Motijheel.
CIC officials said the vaults, numbered 751 and 753, were opened on Monday in line with Bangladesh Bank regulations. A joint team comprising CIC personnel and representatives from other relevant agencies opened the vaults.
“Nearly 832 bhori gold ornaments have been found along with state awards and gifts received from various countries and institutions. Gifts that should have been deposited with the State Treasury were also found in the vaults,” a senior CIC official, requesting anonymity, told The Daily Star.
The Anti-Corruption Commission is expected to hold a briefing on the matter soon.
Another vault registered in Hasina’s name was opened the same day at Pubali Bank, but officials said no assets were found there.
The development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of financial records linked to political figures.
