Law enforcement authorities have arrested three brothers in the capital's Mirpur area on charges of extortion and illegally laundering the amassed funds to foreign countries.
According to police sources, the trio had long been operating an extortion syndicate, intimidating local traders and residents to collect large sums of money. Preliminary investigations reveal that a significant portion of this extorted wealth was systematically channeled abroad through unauthorized channels.
Following a series of complaints from victims, police conducted a targeted operation and apprehended the suspects. Authorities have initiated legal proceedings against the arrested individuals and are conducting further investigations to identify any potential accomplices involved in the transnational financial crime.
