Efforts to recover smuggled money from Jamaat leader Mir Qasim Ali, who was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity, have been intensified. To this end, various government agencies are also working closely with various organizations related to international money laundering. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent a letter to the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) to take effective action in this regard. BFIU is holding virtual conversations with interested countries and organizations. Mir Qasim Ali’s smuggling money is expected to be returned soon.
It can be brought. A BFIU delegation plans to visit the United States (USA) if the situation in Corona improves. When asked about this, a senior BFIU official said, on condition of anonymity, that it was being investigated whether there was any information about the transaction other than the দেওয়া 25 million given to Mir Qasim Ali Cassidy & Associates. Mir Qasim Ali had business relationships with several potential countries and information has also been requested from organizations. The government is also dealing with the matter sincerely. Hopefully a good result can be obtained quickly. It is known that a complaint was filed with the ACC against Mir Qasim Ali in mid-2012. He said that he hired Cassidy & Associates, a US-based organization, as a lobbying company to avoid the prosecution of war criminals. To do this, he sent 25 million dollars to the company at the time (about 265 crore Bangladeshi rupees).
That it was a transaction outside the rules according to the foreign transaction guidelines. It is a crime like money laundering under the money laundering law. The firm was hired as a lobbyist to influence the trial of war criminals, and the money was paid for by money laundering, the ACC said. When the matter came to light at the time, the ACC remained motionless. The ACC then began investigating the matter. According to a Ministry of Justice complaint sent to the ACC, Mir Qasim Ali signed an agreement with Cassidy & Associates in Washington on October 6, 2010 to thwart the trial for crimes against humanity. The agreement was signed by Mir Qasim Ali on behalf of the war criminals and Andrew J. Camirs on behalf of Cassidy. The lobbyist agreed to provide the firm with all kinds of legal advice to prevent and delay the process. Meetings were held more than once in Washington and Dhaka. It is known that since 2014, the Mutual Legal Assistance Request-MLAAR has been sent to the United States government through the Attorney General of Bangladesh through the ACC.
It is known that there are many advances in this regard. However, Mir Qasim Ali was interrogated at the prison gate on August 25, 2012 with the permission of the court. Although he denied it during questioning, Mir Qasim Ali also gave confidential information to the police. Consequently, the government has taken steps to recover the money. As part of this, British lawyer Tommy Cadman came to Bangladesh on behalf of Nayeb Amir Delwar Hossain Sayedee of Jamaat, who was convicted in a case of crimes against humanity. Under the agreement, the US law firm will work only 6 months for 25 million. If they want to work later, they have to pay a higher amount. Mir Qasim Ali is believed to have paid a huge amount of money to the company through money laundering.
The BFIU, the Department of State and the Ministry of Legal Affairs are also communicating with various US intelligence agencies and anti-money laundering agencies for detailed information on the matter. Meanwhile, Mir Qasim Ali was reported to have had a business relationship with MP Shahid Islam Papul, who embezzled several billion rupees through various fraud and visa trading, including human trafficking and money laundering in Kuwait. The government is also investigating whether the two have smuggled money to any other country in the world.
