In August 2026, the CIAA launched investigations into the assets of personal secretaries to three former prime ministers—KP Sharma Oli, Sher Bahadur Deuba, and Pushpa Kamal Dahal—following money laundering referrals. These probes involve scrutiny of bank accounts, property, and alleged irregularities such as the lease of government land at below-market rates. Additionally, the commission continued an investigation into former Communications Minister Gokul Baskota regarding a purported Rs 700 million commission related to a security printing press procurement. By September 2026, the CIAA’s annual report for the 2025/26 fiscal year revealed that the commission filed 175 corruption cases at the Special Court, charging 990 individuals. The commission sought the recovery of Rs 25.23 billion in alleged losses. The reported cases included bribery, damage to public property, and the unlawful use of public office. The report also noted that the commission had previously faced significant disruptions, including attacks on its headquarters and regional offices that destroyed forensic laboratories and vehicles. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: CIAA files Rs 25 billion in corruption cases in one year Nepal's CIAA filed 175 corruption cases against 990 people, seeking to recover Rs 25.23 billion in alleged losses during the 2025/26 fiscal year. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ciaa-files-rs-25-billion-in-corruption-cases-in-one-year ### 2026-08-20: Nepal CIAA launches probes into former prime ministers' aides and security press deal Nepal’s CIAA is investigating former personal secretaries to three ex-prime ministers for money laundering and probing a Rs 700 million commission allegation involving former minister Gokul Baskota. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nepal-ciaa-launches-probes-into-former-prime-ministers-aides-and-security-press-deal --- Cite as: Nepal CIAA corruption investigations.
