UK MP Tulip Siddiq faces an arrest warrant in Bangladesh over allegations of corrupt land deals linked to her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) is investigating claims that Sheikh Hasina's regime siphoned off billions from infrastructure projects. Siddiq's lawyers contest the charges as politically motivated and claim no evidence was presented, stating their client had no knowledge of any warrant or allegations against her. This comes amid a broader political struggle in Bangladesh, with accusations stemming from Hasina’s political opponents.
Siddiq's lawyers stated, "The allegations are completely false and have been dealt with in writing by Siddiq's lawyers. The ACC has not responded to Siddiq..."
Siddiq's legal representatives emphasized, "To be clear, there is no basis at all for any charges to be made against her... absolutely no truth in any allegation that she received a plot of land in Dhaka through illegal means."
