The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has recently sent 71 requests to various countries, asking for help in recovering money that was illegally moved out of Bangladesh.
So far, 27 of these countries have responded, according to ACC’s Director General Md Akhtar Hossain, after a meeting with a European Union (EU) delegation on October 1.
During the meeting, they discussed several topics, and the EU delegation agreed to assist in recovering the stolen money. Akhtar mentioned that the largest amounts were sent to the EU, Switzerland, the USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia.
Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) is a system where countries work together to help investigate and prosecute crimes, ensuring that criminals can’t escape justice because the needed evidence is in another country.
