BFIU freezes bank accounts of Tamha Securities, its owner


The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has frozen the bank accounts of Tamha Securities, its Managing Director Md Harunur Rashid, and other related people in connection with alleged embezzlement of investors’ money.

The agency took the decision in January 5 after being requested from the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), said an official of the BFIU on Monday.

He said that the bank accounts of Tamha Securities, the MD of the company and those involved in the company have been frozen. 

As a result, they cannot withdraw or transfer the money from their account, he added.

The stock brokerage firm and its managing director have accounts in several banks including Standard Chartered and Mercantile Bank, as per industry insiders.

Before the move, Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) on December 9, 2021, halted trade of stock brokerage firm Tamha Securities after receiving allegations of embezzlement of investor’s money.
