Bangladesh's anti-money laundering agency has requested the bank account details of Tulip Siddiq, the UK's City Minister and niece of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, as part of an official inquiry into corruption. The agency has sought information on Siddiq's accounts and those of six family members, including her sister Azmina Siddique, brother Radwan Mujib Siddiq, and mother Sheikh Rehana. This move has raised questions regarding Siddiq's financial dealings, particularly in relation to alleged corruption during her aunt's tenure. Allies of Siddiq have stated that she has no bank accounts outside the UK and that she has not been contacted by the agency regarding this matter.
