ACC quizzing ex-MD of Sonali Bank

Tuesday, September 4, 2012 Anti-corruption commission (ACC) started questioning Humayun Kabir, former managing director of Sonali Bank, Tuesday morning in connection with the much-hyped Hallmark loan scandle.
A six-member team led by ACC Deputy Director Mir Md Zainul Abedin Shebly began quizzing Kabir at the ACC office at 9:30am.
The ACC recently started investigating the state-run Sonali Bank's illegal lending of Tk 3,547 crore to little-known Hallmark Group and five other companies, and the people involved in the scam.
Bangladesh Bank has recently requested the ACC to dig into the matter after it found proof of massive irregularities in lending by the state-owned bank of Ruposhi Bangla Hotel branch from 2010 to May this year.
The ACC till Monday had quizzed 19 Sonali Bank officials as part of its ongoing investigation into the loan irregularity.
