LONDON: The central bank controlled by the Taliban Afghanistan said it had won cash and gold from the former top government officials on Wednesday, including former Vice President Amrullah Saleh.
In a statement, the central bank said the money and gold had been stored at the official house, even though they did not know what purpose.
The existence of godly is unknown.
He had vowed to fight the Taliban, which invaded in power a month ago, and last week a family member said the Taliban had executed his brother Rohullah Azizi.
In a separate statement, the bank urged Afghans to use the country’s local Afghani currency.
It comes amid worries that grow that banks and state companies are lacking money, especially the dollar, which is widely used.
In a sign that the Taliban looked for the assets owned by former government officials, the Central Bank issued a circular to local banks last week asking them to freeze individual accounts exposed politics related to the previous government, said two commercial bankers.
