The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has issued a second summons to 17 officials of Bangladesh Bank, requiring their presence on 8 and 9 December 2024, to provide statements and submit relevant documents regarding an embezzlement case at Islami Bank. The officials were previously summoned on 11 November but failed to appear. The ACC investigation team emphasized that failure to comply this time will result in legal action, implying these officials may have assisted the accused parties in the alleged loan fraud.

The case involves embezzlement by a business entity, with allegations of collusion from the summoned officials. The ACC aims to uncover the extent of their involvement in facilitating financial misconduct. This move underscores the ACC’s resolve to address irregularities in the banking sector and hold officials accountable for their actions. The summons is part of broader efforts to maintain transparency and integrity in financial institutions.
