Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited has organised a day-long workshop on Money Laundering Prevention Act-2009 and Anti Terrorism Act-2009 at the bank's training centre in the city recently.

K S Tabrez, managing director of the bank, inaugurated the workshop, said a press release.

Resource persons from Bangladesh Bank conducted various sessions in the workshop.

The workshop discussed various conceptual aspects of Money Laundering Act-2009 and Anti Terrorism Act-2009, the news release said.

K S Tabrez in his speech said with the increase of economic activities more individuals and organisations are coming within the purview of banking services and thereby bankers become more exposed to the illegal money which tends to undergo the process of laundering and hence require prevention.

He also advised the participants to exercise caution in handling fictitious bank accounts used in money laundering.

Md Eskandar Miah, deputy general manager, Dulal Chandra Sarker and Mohammed Mahbub Alam, deputy directors of Anti-Money Laundering Department of the Bangladesh Bank and A H M Zahurul Islam, executive vice president for training wing of DBBL also spoke on the workshop.
