Ali Mohd Noor, Bestinet’s existing chief executive officer, stated in a statement to Malaysiakini on September 23 that” Bestinet denies the existence of any syndicates that are allegedly under the control of Aminul or anyone else in our jurisdiction.”  ,
According to a report released on Sep 18, the Bangladeshi media outlet Prothom Alo reported that both Mr. Aminul and Mr. Ruhul were” consoles” of a money-laundering consortium made up of 100 organizations that may continue to send migrant workers to Malaysia, despite recruitment agencies ‘ ban on sending employees there since May of this year.
According to South China Morning Post, tens of thousands of Bangladeshi immigrant workers had been victims of an extensive employment scam in Malaysia where they had to spend up to US$ 5, 000 honest for work that did n’t exist, making them work improperly to pay their debts. The entry deadline for Malaysia’s Home Affairs Ministry was May 31.
According to local recruitment agency owners in Bangladesh, cited in Prothom Alo, the official registration fee per worker is 2, 700 Bangladeshi taka ( US$ 22.59 ) but workers have been charged a fee of around 107, 000 Bangladeshi taka by the syndicate.  ,
Prothom Alo reported that while 7, 000 Bangladeshi taka is obtained by a local variety company, the remaining 100, 000 Bangladeshi taka is sent to Bestinet, through “illegal programs” as a” gang fee”. Additionally, according to Prothom Alo, a total of 50 billion Bangladeshi baht has been laundered in this manner.  ,
Mr. Ismail refuted the claims made by the local Bangladeshi press about the exorbitant application fee.
” We do n’t have any syndicate fees.” We simply gather the number allowed by the Indonesian state”, Mr Ismail said, as quoted by Malaysiakini.  ,
On June 20, Prothom Alo reported that Mr. Ruhul had refuted claims of money laundering.
” Why does anyone give me money, am I so strong? Aminul Islam is also a merchant. How does businessmen exert influence over the labor industry?” He was quoted by Prothom Alo as saying.  ,
The Bangladeshi police also requested that Malaysia temporarily stop Bestinet’s proprietary IT system, the Foreign Workers Centralized Management System ( FWCMS ), according to Bloomberg.  ,
Since 2013, the Malaysian Immigration Department has used the FWCMS platform to track and process visa applications from 15 nations ( including Bangladesh ), which have been exporting labor to Malaysia.
