CIID Director General Moinul Khan told bdnews24.com on Saturday that Moosa was now asked to appear before the Directorate at 3pm on May 7.
He said the directorate gave him the time following his application in which he claimed he could not speak because a part of his face was paralysed due to 'facial palsy and diabetes mellitus with ischemic heart disease.'
The CIID asked the business tycoon to appear before it on Apr 20 after seizing his luxury Range Rover SUV at a house in Dhanmondi following day-long hide-and-seek on Mar 21.
Moosa, Chairman of manpower recruiting company DATCO, was told to surrender the vehicle but he hid it instead by changing its colour, customs detectives said.
Detectives went in search of the luxury SUV after receiving information that it was at Moosa's Gulshan home. The directorate later traced it at the Dhanmondi house and seized it.
The businessman is facing charges of money laundering as well as evasion of duty involving the import of the car.
