ACC to act against use of black money in national election

The Anti-Corruption Commission will take action to stop the use of black money in the upcoming parliamentary election, ACC Chairman Mohammad Abdul Momen has said.

“The commission will also investigate if candidates provide false information in their affidavits,” he told the media on Monday.

Responding to a question, the chairman said the commission would focus on stopping the supply chains of black money in the upcoming polls.

In this regard, he said, the ACC, Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU), and other relevant agencies would work together.

Momen also urged the countrymen to reject those who hold black money and corrupt candidates in the national election.

He also said that the activities of the enforcement unit would be strengthened to stop the use of black money during the election period.
