He said another religious body is protecting a money launderer after money suspected to have been laundered was traced to the organisation’s bank account.

“A religious sect in this country has been found to be laundering money for terrorists,” he insisted, without naming names or disclosing whether the graft buster will arrest and prosecute the culprits.
