A Dhaka court granted authorities a four-day remand for Enayet Karim Chowdhury on Sunday. The Anti-Corruption Commission sought the detention period for the Bangladeshi-American citizen. Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Sabbir Faiz approved the request despite the ACC asking for five days. No defense attorney appeared for Chowdhury during the hearing.
Investigators accuse Chowdhury of helping former police chief Benazir Ahmed launder 11 crore taka. The case names Ahmed, his wife and two daughters as primary suspects. Officials arrested Chowdhury earlier this month near Minto Road. Court documents claim he worked with foreign intelligence agencies while attempting to destabilize Bangladesh's interim government.
