Three banks in Bangladesh have been implicated in the global banking scandal. Of these, one is a government bank and two are private banks.
Between 2014 and 2016, the total transactions of the three banks through the scandal amounted to 8 lakh 33 thousand dollars, which is equivalent to 6 crore 8 lakh rupees in local currency (75 rupees per dollar).
The report comes from the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (Finsen), a US Treasury intelligence agency.
The report cites 2 trillion transactions worldwide. Deutsche Bank of Germany has made the most transactions.
The report reviews data from the last 18 years. The report was released to the media on Monday by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), a US-based organization of investigative journalists.
The report is called the Finsen File. Previously, the company published two reports, Panama and Paradise Papers. There, the names of 84 Bangladeshi people appeared on the money laundering list.
At this time, data of 6 suspicious transactions have been received from Bangladesh. The total amount is 6 lakh 32,938 dollars. 6 crore 8 lakh in local currency.
Of these, 3 lakh 36,733 dollars came to Bangladesh in 3 transactions through two private banks. And 4 lakh 95,204 dollars went abroad from Bangladesh in 5 transactions through a government bank.
The transactions were made through New York Melcon Corporation and Standard Chartered plc in the United States, which listed Finsen as a suspect.
The money was made through financial institutions in Bangladesh, the United States, and three other countries. Banks have allowed transactions even though they know the source of the money is fraudulent.
