The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has launched a probe into allegations of fund embezzlement against a number of leaders of Hefazat-e-Islam, including its chief Junayed Babunagari and joint secretary Mamunul Haque.
The Hefazat leaders are facing allegations of embezzling crores of taka from the funds of their organisation, different madrasas, orphanages and Islamic institutions and foreign aid meant for spending on religious purposes.
Some of the Hefazat leaders have allegedly laundered huge money received from different sources. Suspicious transactions of money were also found at their bank accounts.
The anti-graft body has decided to carry out a probe against the Hefazat leaders after it found truth of the allegations through Bangladesh Bank and its intelligence unit, ACC sources said.
