The answer

This investment account in a usurious bank is a forbidden transaction, and not only for the trust money, but also for the questioner's own money. Any profits generated from it are forbidden usury (riba), which is unlawful to possess. It must be disposed of by spending it on the welfare of Muslims and charitable causes.
