Treasury minister Tulip Siddiq has denied allegations of embezzling billions related to a nuclear power plant, claiming she is a victim of a political hit job.
Whitehall sources confirmed that Siddiq's discussion with the ethics team was part of a factually checking process in response to the allegations rather than a formal investigation.
Siddiq's family connection to former Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her alleged involvement in a 2013 deal with Russia raises concerns amid the corruption claims.
Sources close to Siddiq assert that the allegations tying her to coordinating meetings between Bangladeshi and Russian officials are unfounded and politically motivated.
