The United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) has frozen all assets belonging to Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, former Land Minister of Bangladesh. As a result, Chowdhury is no longer permitted to sell or transfer these assets. The action follows a formal request from Bangladeshi authorities, submitted after the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government. UK authorities acted upon the request, marking a significant step in international cooperation on corruption-related matters.
