The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has asked banks to provide detailed information about the accounts and transactions of Nobel laureate Dr Muhammad Yunus for the last two years.
On January 20, the agency, which works to curb money laundering and terrorist financing, ordered banks to furnish it with the information in three working days.
The BFIU did not give any reason why it is seeking information about the accounts and transaction details of Professor Yunus, the pioneer of microcredit and founder of Grameen Bank.
Contacted, Md Masud Biswas, head of the BFIU, declined to comment.
Prof Yunus and Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for their work to “create economic and social development from below”.
