The e-commerce platform Evaly — it is said to be a platform where people can purchase all kinds of goods from a single website even as from a pencil to a book to a dress to a cell phone to cars to lands, everything is available on this website — has hit the headlines once again after the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) launched an investigation over charges of embezzlement of more than Taka 3.38 billion from customers and merchants.
As per media reports, according to the charges, the firm has allegedly laundered the money taken from the customers in advance even as it owes the merchants the funds while adding that after the Commerce Ministry filed a ‘specific’ complaint on 4 July in this regard, the ACC department dealing with money laundering charges has decided to investigate the firm even if the national anti-graft agency had begun examining the company’s activities earlier.
Meanwhile, speaking to the media, ACC spokesperson Muhammad Arif Sadeque, reportedly, maintained ACC Deputy Director Mamunur Rashid Chowdhury and Deputy Assistant Director Muhammad Shihab Salam will carry out the investigation.
