2011-01-12 | |
[Tolo News] Attorney General's Office has told TOLOnews that 'certain circles' were behind the crisis in Kabul Bank. "Circles" are of course controlled by Hidden Hands™...
After receiving a five-page letter from Afghanistan's central bank in which an investigation into the bank was emphasised, Attorney General began inquiries. Several days ago Attorney General Mohammad Is-haq Aliko ordered investigations about the bank, Attorney General's Spokesperson, Amanullah Eman, told TOLOnews. "Based on the letter from central bank and jurisdiction of Attorney General a group has been assigned to do some investigations about crisis in Kabul Bank," said Amanullah Eman. "The investigations are in the primary phase and it will soon be finalised," he further said. Mr Eman accused certain circles of taking advantage of the crisis in the bank, flying cash out of the country. "Afghanistan central bank's letter to Attorney General was calling for investigation because there are signs of corruption that caused the bank to plunge into crisis. It means money was taken out of Afghanistan by some circles, that requires many investigations to discover them, and then it resulted in crisis in the bank," Mr Eman said. After Kabul Bank went into crisis, head of the bank resigned and central bank (DAB) took over. | |
