The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) detained two more employees of Bhutan National Bank Limited (BNBL) in connection with the Royal Insurance Corporation of Bhutan Limited (RICBL) embezzlement case on Monday. They were working in the Paro BNBL branch.
Sources say a few more could be interrogated which may even lead to more detention.
On July 30, ACC detained an IT officer of BNBL who is suspected to have embezzled more than Nu 50 M colluding with the main accused of RICBL case.
The main accused, Rinchen Wangdi, who was the supervisor of Paro RICBL branch, absconded from the country on June 20, soon after the missing money was noticed. He is said to have siphoned off Nu 92 M. He was arrested in Nepal and brought back to the country on August 1.
RICBL’s General Manager of Finance and Accounts Division and an Internal Auditor are still under suspension.
