The Anti-Corruption Commission on Tuesday filed a case against BNP stalwart Moudud Ahmed and his brother Manzur Ahmed, now living in London, on charge of grabbing a government house worth about Tk 300 crore. The commission deputy director Harunur Rashid filed the case with Gulshan police station. According to the first information report, the Dhaka Improvement Trust, now renamed as Rajuk, handed over a plot of one bigha and 14 kathas at Gulshan to Mohammd Ehsan on December 30, 1961 which was registered in his wife’s name, Inge Maria Flatz, in 1965.
As Ehsan and Flatz left the country in 1971, the plot was included in the list of abandoned houses.
In August 1973, Moudud prepared a fake power of attorney of Maria Flatz to grab the land.
Since then, Moudud had been living in the house showing himself as a tenant of Maria Flatz.
When Moudud was holding different posts as minister and deputy prime minister and prime minister in 1978-1989, he tried to grab the house misusing his power, the complaint said.
In March 1984, he made another power of attorney of Flatz against the name of Mohsin Darbar (an unknown person). Flatz died on March 30, 1985. But, Moudud made a sale agreement between his bother Manzur Ahmed and Mohsin Darbar using the power of attorney of a late person.
The complaint said that Moudud has been using the house since 1978 making different fake documents against his brother Manzur Ahmed’s name.
