The Anti-Corruption Commission has sought wealth statements of the managing director and six directors of Sylven Wai Resort and Spa Ltd, owned by expelled Juba League leader Gulam Kibria (GK) Shamim.
 
The officials are Managing Director Jashim Uddin Mantu and six directors — Jamil Uddin Shuvo, Zawad Uddin Abrar, Zia Uddin Abir, Md Minarul Alam Chaklader, Fazlul Karim Chowdhury Shwapan and  SH Mohammad Mohshin.
 
A notice, signed by ACC Director Sayed Iqbal Hossain, was issued in this connection on Monday. 
 
According to the sub-section 1 under section 26 of the ACC act 2004, the seven officials have been asked to submit the details of all assets including movable and immovable property, liabilities, sources and ways of income and persons dependent on them. 

They have to submit the wealth statements within the next 21 working days after receiving the notice. 
 
Action will be taken as per the law if the respondents failed to submit the statements within the designated period or provide any false statement, says the ACC advisory.
 
On September 20 last year, RAB arrested GK Shamim on charges of extortion and tender manipulation, and confiscated Tk1.81 crore in cash. His bodyguards were also arrested.
