No account in Moosa’s name in Swiss banks

The central bank of Switzerland has stated that controversial Bangladeshi businessman Moosa Bin Shamsher did not have any account in any Swiss bank.
The Swiss Central Bank conveyed the massage to the Bangladesh Bank recently following a query by the latter, said Bank and financial Institutions Division secretary M Aslam Alam.
The Swiss central bank did not find any account belonging to any person named Moosa Bin Shamsher in any bank there, he said.
In December, Moosa claimed the Swiss Bank had frozen Tk 51,000 crore from his account for irregular transactions while he was interrogated by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
Aslam Alam, however, said he (Moosa Bin Shamsher) might have accounts in Swiss banks in other names.
Officials of the BFID and BB observed that Moosa tried to earn ‘cheap popularity’ through ‘publicity in newspapers’. Most of his activities, including keeping female bodyguards like slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, were shady, they observed.
The interrogation of Moosa by the country’s corruption watchdog hogged the headlines of the national dailies as he offered to construct a new building for the ACC if his frozen money was released.
During the interrogation Moosa said his money was deposited in the Swiss Bank between 2006 and 2007. He claimed that his income was generated in foreign lands.
He told the ACC officials that he was also interested in donating for the construction of Padma Multipurpose Bridge across the river Padma.
Without finding any suitable lender after withdrawal of the committed $1.2 billion fund by World Bank, because of corruption in bridge tender, the government has been forced to construct the bridge on its own fund.
Moosa, reportedly an international arms broker, is chairman of a company named Defence Advancement and Trading Company.
