ACC grills 4 more Destiny directors
The Anti-Corruption Commission yesterday quizzed four more directors of Destiny Group, including the wife of Chairman Rafiqul Amin, over various irregularities by the multilevel company.
Destiny directors Farah Diba, Rafiqul's wife Hosne Ara, Selina Rahman and Nitu Bishwas were interrogated for nearly four hours at the ACC office in the capital.
ACC Director Squadron Leader Tahidul Islam, Deputy Director Mozahar Ali Sarder and Assistant Director Towfiqul Islam grilled them until 3:00pm.
Earlier on Tuesday and Wednesday, the ACC officials interrogated Destiny Group Chairman Rafiqul, vice-presidents Mohammed Sayeed-ur-Rahman and Mohammad Gofranul Haque, three directors-- Gofran Ahmed, Mejhab Uddin and Irfan Ahmed Sunny-- and Destiny-2000 Ltd Chairman Mohammad Hossain.
But what information the ACC could extract from the Destiny Group members could not be known immediately.
However, ACC Chairman Ghulam Rahman said in the afternoon that the information the Destiny officials gave in the last three days would be verified.
If the Destiny officials' statements contradict the findings of the ACC, the anti-graft watchdog will file cases against them, the ACC chairman said.
In the name of multi-level marketing, some companies and clever people are cashing in on poor people's desire to become rich, he said, adding they had also been laundering money for which they should be punished.
In mid-April this year, the commission launched an investigation into financial anomalies, including illegal banking, by the company and its sister concerns.
