Dhaka, Jul 31 The Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday filed two cases against 22 officials of the Destiny 2000 Ltd, including its Chairman Rafiqul Amin, on charges of embezzling over Tk 32.85 billion.
The watchdog's Deputy Director Mozahar Ali Sarkar and Assitant Director Towfiqul Islam lodged the two cases separately at the capital's Kalabagan Police Station.
"The accused misappropriated more than Tk 11.74 billion from the tree plantation project," Towfiqul told reporters at a press meet at the ACC headquarters in the city's Segunbagicha in the afternoon.
Mozahar Ali Sarkar said the accused allegedly misappropriated over Tk 21.06 billion in the name of the Destiny Multi-purpose Co-operative Society.
The accused transferred the illegal money from the projects to their unprofitable institutions first and then the money was shifted to their personal accounts, he added.
