Saimon Overseas Limited, a leading corporate travel service provider, has been officially cleared of allegations of money laundering following a thorough investigation conducted by the Financial Crime Investigation Unit and the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism.
Following a show-cause notice issued by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, Saimon Overseas Limited submitted a comprehensive response, supported by bank statements, IATA BSP reports, ticket copies, and all relevant documentation. After careful review and verification, the authorities found no evidence to substantiate the allegations.
As a result, the ministry confirmed that, after examining all aspects of the case, the accusations were formally declared false and Saimon Overseas Limited was granted full clearance (Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism letter no. 30.00.0000.000.025.27.0006.25-877, dated December 14, 2025).
In a statement on Monday, Saimon Overseas Limited stated, “These false and defamatory allegations were intended solely to damage our long-standing reputation.”
“We have already initiated legal proceedings against those responsible for spreading such misinformation,” said Afsia Jannat Saleh, Managing Director of Saimon Overseas Limited and Secretary General of the Association of Travel Agents of Bangladesh (ATAB) for the tenure 2024–2025.
She also said that this was a planned smear campaign orchestrated by a vested interest group. This group allegedly targeted Saimon Overseas Limited after the company took a strong stance against pervasive irregularities in the air ticketing market, including practices widely blamed for artificially inflating airfares.
