Anti-Corruption Commission raids BCB's headquarters
The Island
|April 18, 2025
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) arrived at the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) headquarters to carry out an enforcement operation at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
-
The three-member ACC team, led by Assistant Director Al Amin, launched the operation following specific complaints. After an hour and a half of inspections across various departments, Al Amin addressed the media, confirming that the commission is investigating three separate allegations.
According to a letter from the ACC headquarters, the operation was prompted by "allegations of irregular financial gain and other forms of corruption in the selection process of various cricket leagues under the Bangladesh Cricket Board."
Al Amin further revealed the two other allegations being investigated: discrepancies in ticket sale revenues from the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) and embezzlement of funds during the Mujib Centenary celebrations.
