The National Board of Revenue is keeping watch on about 12 firms for their involvement in money laundering through trade misinvoicing.
About Tk 200 crore is involved in these cases, said Moinul Khan, director general of the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate under the NBR.
For instance, one of the firms had sent 298 export containers but did not log in any proceeds from the shipments, Khan said, without naming the firms that are under the scanner of the NBR’s customs intelligence.
Khan’s comments came at the inauguration of a two-day workshop on countering trade-based money laundering, held at the customs intelligence headquarters in Dhaka yesterday.
