Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) today ordered the respective authorities of different banks to send it the bank statements of Jubo League Chairman Mohammad Omar Faroque Chowdhury.

The lenders were asked to submit the detail information of all accounts owned by Omar Faroque in three working days, an official of the BFIU, told The Daily Star this evening.

The financial intelligence unit has taken the move as part of the government’s ongoing drive against casino business, gambling and corruption, the official said.

The BFIU and the National Board of Revenue have recently frozen casino business and gambling in Dhaka and sought information about a number of Jubo League leaders due to their alleged involvement in running the illegal businesses.
