A Dhaka court on Tuesday imposed travel bans on 11 people involved with the interests of S Alam Group chairman Mohammad Saiful Alam, and his family.
Dhaka senior special judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib passed the order, allowing a plea of the Anti-Corruption Commission.
The 11 people, who have been barred to leave the country, are Belal Ahmed, Fasihul Alam, Sazeda Begum, Mahmudul Alam, Md Mostan Billah Adil, Atikun Nesa Jeny, Lutfur Nahar, Chemon Ara Begum, Maimuna Khanom, Badrunnesa Alam and Sharmin Fatema.
The commission in its plea said that the anti-graft body was investigating allegations against Mohammad Saiful Alam, his family members and people related to them of laundering around $1 billion to Singapore, British Virgin Islands, Cyprus and other countries.
‘These people are trying to flee the country, and if they succeed in doing so, it can hamper the probe,’ it added.
