Govt restructures task force to bring back laundered money

The interim government has restructured an inter-agency task force formed to bring back laundered money.

The finance ministry in a notification said the nine-member task force, headed by the Bangladesh Bank governor, has become operational with immediate effect.

The previous task force, led by the attorney general, was formed by the immediate past Awami League government on January 15 last year.

According to a press statement issued by the office of the chief adviser to the interim government at the end of last month said the amount of money illegally sent abroad is believed to be over Tk 100,000 crore.
