Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has frozen all bank accounts belonging to former national cricket team captain, Shakib Al Hasan. This development was confirmed to journalists by the BFIU on Wednesday night.
Earlier, on October 2, the agency had requested detailed information on the bank accounts of Shakib, his wife Umm Ahmed Shishir, and their associated business organizations to investigate alleged financial irregularities and market manipulation. Following the probe, BFIU, acting on government orders, took action to seize his bank accounts.
On September 24, the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission fined Shakib Tk 50 lakh for breaching securities regulations through share manipulation of Paramount Insurance.
In addition to his cricket career, Shakib Al Hasan serves as a lawmaker representing the Magura-1 constituency for the Awami League. He was also implicated in a murder case filed at Adabar police station following the end of Hasina’s government on August 5.
Currently, Shakib Al Hasan is residing in the United States with his family.
