Overview

• Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has issued an arrest warrant for Tulip Siddiq, alleging she illegally received a 7,200 square feet land plot in Dhaka's diplomatic zone.
• The allegations involve abuse of power linked to Siddiq's familial ties to former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is also under investigation for corruption.
• This case is separate from a larger £4 billion embezzlement investigation involving a nuclear deal, in which Siddiq has also been implicated.
• Siddiq, who resigned from the UK Treasury in January, has been named in three Bangladeshi corruption inquiries and continues to deny all charges.
• She claims the allegations are part of a targeted political campaign, criticizing the ACC for publicizing accusations without direct communication.
