The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has filed four separate cases against former finance minister AHM Mustafa Kamal, his wife and two daughters on charges of acquiring assets ‘beyond declared income’.

They have been accused of acquiring ‘illegal’ assets worth more than Tk 165.57 crore in the cases.

ACC Director General Md. Akhter Hossain gave this information to journalists on Thursday.

According to the statement of the four cases filed at the ACC’s integrated district office, Dhaka-1, Mustafa Kamal and his wife Kashmiri Kamal have ‘illegal’ assets worth Tk 275.254 crore and Tk 441.162 crore, respectively.

And the ‘undisclosed’ assets of their daughters Kashfi Kamal and Nafisa Kamal are Tk 31 crore 78 lakh 83 thousand 195 and Tk 62 crore 14 lakh 77 thousand 516 respectively.

The ACC’s complaint states that former Finance Minister Mustafa Kamal had Tk 446 crore 42 lakh 53 thousand 788 in 32 bank accounts, Tk 26 crore 64 lakh 1 thousand 133 in 20 banks of Kashmiri Kamal, Tk 177 crore 48 lakh 23 thousand 548 in 38 banks of Kashfi Kamal and Tk 199 crore 23 lakh 40 thousand 547 in 17 banks of Nafisa Kamal.

After the change of power, the ACC began investigating corruption allegations against Mustafa Kamal in August 2024. Since then, he and his family members have not been seen in public.

On August 22 of that year, the Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) froze the bank accounts of the former finance minister and his family members.

Mustafa Kamal, a former member of parliament from Comilla-10 (Comilla Sadar South, Lalmai and Nangalkot), was the finance minister of the Awami League government in its previous term. He did not make it into the last cabinet.

He was also the president of the BCB and the International Cricket Council (ICC).

His businesswoman daughter Nafisa Kamal was in discussions at various times about owning a cricket franchise.
