Report in tax evasion case against Prince Moosa on Aug 4
DHAKA, July 7, 2019 (BSS) – A Dhaka court today set August 4 to submit
probe report in a case filed against businessman Moosa Bin Shamsher for tax
evasion and filing inaccurate statement regarding keeping money in Swiss
Bank.
Today was fixed for submitting the report but the Dhaka Metropolitan
Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikary reset the date as the investigation agency
Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) failed to submit
it.
Customs intelligence has found allegations of registering a Range Rover
vehicle brought in the country under tax-free facility, in his name through
submitting false documents and making transaction of illegal money, primarily
true.
Moosa has been blamed for registering the luxury vehicle in his name by
submitting false bill of entry and evading Taka 2.17 crore in tax. He also
did not submit any legal source of income for the money that he has declared
kept in Swiss Bank.
Assistant Revenue Officer of CIID Md Zakir Hossain filed the case
against Moosa with Gulshan Police Station on July 31, 2017 under Money
Laundering Prevention Act.
