The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has begun verifying the asset declarations submitted by retired general Aziz Ahmed, a former army chief, and his wife Dilshad Nahar Kakoli.
ACC Assistant Director Shazzad Hossain has been appointed inquiry officer to verify and investigate their declared assets.
ACC Public Relations Officer Aktarul Islam confirmed the development to bdnews24.com on Sunday but no further details were provided.
According to ACC documents, the commission decided to appoint an inquiry officer and the director of Special Inquiry and Investigation-3 as the supervising officer to verify and investigate General Aziz’s asset declaration.
The ACC decided in September 2024 to investigate General Aziz and his two brothers, Haris Ahmed and Tofail Ahmed Joseph, over allegations of abuse of power, acquiring assets beyond known sources of income and money laundering.
The allegations against General Aziz first came to light in May 2024.
On May 29 that year, Supreme Court lawyer Salahuddin Regan submitted an application to the ACC seeking an inquiry into the corruption allegations against him.
Following the commission’s decision, the officials have been instructed to complete the verification and investigation of General Aziz and his wife’s assets in accordance with the rules and submit reports.
ACC documents list General Aziz’s address as his residence in Mirpur DOHS.
The documents also name inquiry and supervising officers for Kakoli, a Mirpur DOHS resident, and instruct them to verify her submitted asset declaration under the rules and submit a report.
