Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge KM Imrul Kayesh approved the order on Thursday at the request of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
Tapas Pal, the state attorney for the court, told bdnews24.com.
Imtiaz is the retired president of the Faridpur Press Club, the Juba League leader Barkat is the district president of Faridpur.
CID Deputy Superintendent of Police Uttam Kumar Biswas, who is investigating the money laundering case at the Kafrul police station, requested a warrant to seize the bank accounts of the five.
According to the request, the defendants Sajjad Hossain Barkat, Imtiaz Hossain Rubel, Barkat’s wife, Afroza Akter Parveen, Rubel’s wife, Soheli Imroz Poonam and Abdul Sadeq Mukul have six bank accounts in the name of their organization.
“The investigation of the case is hampered because the bank accounts in the name of these defendants have not been seized. That is why the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has been requested to take steps to seize these accounts.” .
However, the CID did not say how much money the five deposited in the bank.
CID Inspector SM Miraj Al Mahmud filed a case against Barkat and Rubel on June 26 at the Kafrul Police Station in Dhaka, alleging money laundering.
The two brothers were accused of illegally acquiring and smuggling assets worth Tk 2 billion.
According to the statement, Sajjad and Imtiaz have owned a large amount of illegal assets by controlling the contracts of various government departments including LGED, BRTA and the Faridpur Roads Department from 2010 to date. In addition to drug trafficking, they have made illegal assets by occupying land.
The statement further said that in their early life, the two brothers used to work for a BNP leader at the corner of Rajbari Road.
