Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has sought banks account details from Nobel laureate and founder of Grameen Bank professor Muhammad Yunus.
On 20 January, BFIU sent letters to the banks seeking information on all types of accounts held by Yunus and credit card transactions by him.
The agency asked former managing director of Grameen Bank to send the transaction records to BFIU on 18 January.
According to a BFIU source, various agencies have been asked to provide information on the bank transactions of the person concerned. In the case of Yunus, no such organization has sought such information. Bangladesh Bank has requested this information for its own needs.
It is known that in 2016, Bangladesh Bank and the National Board of Revenue took information about the bank accounts of Yunus and his family members.
Younus was the managing director of Grameen Bank since its inception in 1983. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 jointly with Grameen Bank.
