Biman’s former country manager in UK sued by ACC

Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC) filed a case against former country manager of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Limited’s London station Akhtaruddin Ahmed for causing a loss of around Tk 1 crore.

The case was filed with Dhaka Coordinated Office, ACC-1 after the investigation.
