Laundering Tk 782cr: Halder prime accused in 10 graft cases Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent
The Anti-Corruption Commission has filed 10 cases against 37 people, including former managing director of now-defunct NRB Global Bank PK Halder, for laundering about Tk 782 crore of International Leasing and Financial Services Limited (ILFSL).
Proshanta Kumar Halder, also known as PK Halder, is the prime accused in all the cases.
He took loans from financial institutions against at least two dozen non-existent companies created by him. In some cases, he used part of the funds to repay instalments of loans taken against his several fictitious firms.
PK Halder put his men at the helm of the financial institutions so that he could easily take loans from those and misappropriate the funds.
