| 'And being under investigation for corruption in Bangladesh is an actual guilty verdict'? Possibly not. Depends on how much you slip the judge. But if we are to believe the BBC.... 'Tulip Siddiq, who as the Treasury's Economic Secretary is responsible for tackling corruption in UK financial markets, is alleged to have brokered a deal with Russia in 2013 that overinflated the price of a new nuclear power plant in Bangladesh. The allegation is part of a wider investigation by Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) into Siddiq's aunt, Sheikh Hasina, who was deposed as prime minister of the country in August. A source close to Siddiq said these were "trumped up charges". The ACC is also investigating several of Hasina's family members, including Siddiq's mother Sheikh Rehana Siddiq, and senior officials from her government. Hasina, who was in charge of Bangladesh for more than 20 years, was seen as an autocrat whose government ruthlessly clamped down on dissent. Since fleeing the country Hasina has been accused of multiple crimes by the new Bangladeshi government. Hasina is wanted by Bangladesh's International Criminal Tribunal (ICT) for her alleged involvements in "crimes against humanity" that took place during the demonstrations, in which hundreds were killed'. "Crimes against humanity" ! Yet the IDF not cited ?! |
