Overview

  • Siddiq’s lawyers sent a legal notice to interim leader Muhammad Yunus and the ACC demanding they scrap the corruption probes they label “wholly misconceived and unlawful”.
  • She accuses Yunus of prejudicing his own investigation by publicly linking her to undisclosed wealth left in Bangladesh.
  • The Anti-Corruption Commission has opened multiple inquiries related to her aunt Sheikh Hasina’s ousted administration and warns it will seek an Interpol red notice if she fails to appear in court.
  • The UK’s National Crime Agency obtained a freezing order on a north London property tied to Siddiq’s family amid ongoing asset-tracing efforts.
  • Siddiq denies all allegations and contends the investigations represent political interference in her role as MP for Hampstead and Highgate.
