Bangladesh court orders authorities to request Interpol red notice for arrest of British MP
Dhaka court ordered Interpol red notice request for British MP Tulip Siddiq over alleged corruption in Gulshan real estate, linked to former PM Sheikh Hasina, ACC said.
- On Thursday, Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Mohammed Sabbir Faiz ordered authorities to seek an Interpol red notice to arrest Tulip Siddiq over corruption charges tied to a private real estate project following an ACC petition.
- Alleging improper influence, the commission says Siddiq used her connection to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to influence a land process in Gulshan.
- In January last year, Siddiq resigned as a British government minister in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Keir Starmer amid pressure over ties to Hasina and rejected the allegations, calling the verdicts a `complete farce`.
- There was no immediate reaction from Siddiq on Thursday, and she already faces a six-year jail sentence from Bangladesh courts across three corruption cases pursued by the Anti-Corruption Commission.
- An interim leader, Muhammad Yunus, oversaw an election on Feb. 12 as the new government led by Prime Minister Tarique Rahman took power after Sheikh Hasina's ouster in 2024 and her exile since Aug. 5, 2024.
