The Public Prosecutor of Kuwait had approached the country’s Central Bank to freeze the bank accounts of the Bangladeshi MP Mohammad Shahid Islam and his company, who are being held in connection with cases related to human trafficking, Visa selling and money laundering, reports Arab Times.
Informed sources stated that the financial balance of the company amounts to about 5 million dinars, including 3 million dinars as company’s capital.
The prosecution has contacted the bank to freeze the accounts so that they do not withdraw as they have become suspicious and will be required to recover from it if the charges are proven before the courts.
Earlier on June 6, independent lawmaker Mohammad Shahid Islam was arrested by Kuwait CID police from his residence at Mishref residential area on charges of human trafficking and money laundering. The public prosecution department denied bail to Shahid and sent to him to custody.
