The anti-graft body will quiz former army chief and Destiny 2000 Limited President Lt Gen (Retd)Harun-Ar-Rashid over allegations of irregularities in the multi-level marketing company.
"The commission had decided to interrogate anyone it thinks necessary," Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Commissioner M Badiuzzaman told reporters on Sunday.
"Accordingly, now the commission thinks it is necessary to quiz Harun-Ar-Rashid," he added.
Harun had been the Coordinator of the Sector Commanders Forum. He had stepped down following news reports alleging corruption in the company.
Until Sunday, ACC interrogated 16 officials of Destiny, including Managing Director Rafiqul Amin. Those quizzed on Sunday are Destiny Vice Presidents Nepal Chandra Biswas and Sheikh Tayabur Rahman, Destiny Aviation Director Abul Kalam Azad, and Destiny Assistant Executive Director Zakir Hossain.
Irregularities at Destiny were found in an investigation conducted by Bangladesh Bank. ACC started investigating the irregularities after those were reported in the media. It formed a two-member body comprising its Deputy Director Mozahar Ali Sarder and Assistant Director Toufiqul Islam to investigate the irregularities.
The panel submitted its report after two months of investigation on May 23. The probe found evidences to substantiate the irregularities taking place at Destiny and its sister concerns.
The report said top officials of the company were involved in corruption of several crores of Taka. The money was earned through import and real estate businesses. The top officials of the company siphoned off the money earned through corruption to their personal accounts, said the investigation report.
