Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of the central bank issued a notification in this connection on Thursday, officials said.

The BFIU will also investigate the bank accounts of Regent Group chairman and his family members, they added.

“We’ll submit an intelligence report to the law enforcers in this connection after completing our investigation,” a BB senior official told the FE.
