The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has seized 23 sacks of documents linked to former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury Javed’s foreign assets and money laundering activities.

The documents were recovered early Sunday from the Sikdar residence in Shikalbaha, Karnaphuli, Chattogram.

According to ACC officials, the papers contain records of property acquisitions abroad, rent collection, bill payments, and other financial transactions.

An initial review indicated details of assets not only in the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, and Dubai, but also in India, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.

In a press statement, the ACC said the documents were originally removed from the Aramit Group’s industrial facility in Kalurghat on September 16.

They were kept at the house of Md Elias Talukdar, driver of Rukmila Zaman, chairperson of UCBL Bank.

Two days later, shortly before an ACC raid, the documents were shifted to the residence of Osman Talukdar in the same area. From there, they were finally seized in the presence of the acting union parishad chairman, police, and other witnesses.

Preliminary reviews suggest evidence of house ownership, rental income, maintenance expenses, and proof of illicit transfer of funds overseas.

ACC officials noted that the volume of the seized material is enormous and will require significant time for a full review. Once complete, the findings will be submitted to the ACC headquarters for further action.
