The Anticorruption Commission has discovered that Tk 15 crore was misappropriated in eight years at Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board, now Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Ltd, an official said Monday.

ACC director general (administration) colonel Hanif Iqbal said officials and employees of the offices of two directors, accounts officer and GPO misappropriated Tk 14.78 crore by 2000-2008 showing fake bills on conveyance.

Iqbal said approximately Tk 8 crore was also misappropriated by the ministry in charges for fuel and maintenance for cars of the state-run company.

The post and telecommunications ministry had realised Tk 7.71 crore for maintenance of just 15 vehicles from BTTB.

Legal action will be taken against the people involved in these cases, the Iqbal said.
