All bank accounts of Bangladesh cricket all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan have been frozen.
A senior official of the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) of Bangladesh Bank confirmed on Wednesday (November 6) that it has frozen his bank accounts.
Earlier, on October 2, the BFIU had instructed banks to provide account details of Shakib, his wife Umme Ahmed Shishir, and five other individuals.
In a letter, the anti-money laundering agency requested banks and non-bank financial institutions to share information on various accounts held by these individuals, along with any companies or organizations associated with them.
Shakib, who previously served as a member of parliament for Magura-1, was recently fined Taka 50 lakh for his involvement in market manipulation related to shares of Paramount Insurance, a listed company in the insurance sector.
