REPORT-TAX-EVASION-MOOSA
Report in tax evasion case against Prince Moosa March 12
DHAKA, Feb 12, 2020 (BSS) – A court here today set March 12 to submit probe
report in a case filed against businessman Moosa Bin Shamsher for tax evasion
and filing false statement regarding keeping money in Swiss Bank.
Today was fixed for submitting the report, but Dhaka Metropolitan
Magistrate Devdas Chandra Adhikary had to 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 to the country under tax-free facility, in Moosa’s 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 Customs Intelligence and Investigation
Directorate Md Zakir Hossain filed the case against Moosa with Gulshan Police
Station on July 31, 2017 under Money Laundering Prevention Act.
