The godfathers of drug trade will be brought to book through special methods, said additional Inspector General of Police of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Mohammad Ali Mia on Sunday (2 June).
The amassed properties of the godfathers of drug trade were brought under legal action. Some of these were confiscated through freezing accounts while some of these were seized, he said while talking to reporters after unveiling a cover of a book at CID headquarters in Malibagh.
Earlier, we used to bring drug users and retailers under the law but now we are bringing the godfathers through special methods through freezing or seizing properties, he added.
Mentioning that there is a human trafficking cell in CID which is kept open round the clock, the CID additional IGP said legal steps are being taken against the human trafficking gang after getting a complaint.
Apart from this, “We will take legal action if anyone files a case over what we saw at the airport on May 31. We will bring not only the trafficking case but also the illegal sending of workers or the transfer of money illegally converted under the money laundering case.”
Replying to a question about how much money has been laundered in the past one year, the CID official said they have no information about it as the Bangladesh Bank is monitoring it.
Responding to a question about the Bangladesh Bank reserve heist, Mohammad Ali, said CID will submit the chargesheet after completing the investigation within two or one month.
