The High Court on Tuesday observed that officers of Bangladesh Bank, who were responsible for overseeing the activities of non-banking financial institutions, were beneficiaries of financial scams carried by scammers at different non-banking financial institutions by illegally facilitating the top brass of the companies.
The company bench of Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar also called Bangladesh Bank’s executive director Shah Alam a ‘thief and a robber’.
Shah Alam was recently discharged of his duties at the central bank’s Department of Financial Institutions and Markets and the Department of Banking Inspection-2 for his alleged connection with fugitive Prashanta Kumar Halder, former director of International Leasing and Financial Services.

The High Court yesterday came down heavily on a section of Bangladesh Bank officials over their alleged links with financial scams involving People s Leasing and Financial Services Ltd (PLFSL), a non-bank financial institution.
The court also said since the central bank started the process of liquidating the ailing NBFI in June 2019, it has hardly done anything to recover depositors money from those who defaulted on loans from PLFSL.
The liquidation process began after the board of PLFSL informed BB in April 2019 about its inability to pay back the depositors money despite the maturity of the deposits.
