Former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed was arrested in Dubai by city police under an Interpol red notice, confirmed by the Abu Dhabi government on June 12. Bangladesh’s Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed told parliament that the government is working to bring him back quickly, with the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Home, Law, and Foreign ministries preparing necessary documents. Benazir faces six corruption and money laundering cases, one under trial and five under investigation, along with multiple war crimes cases at the International Crimes Tribunal.
News of his arrest has triggered widespread fear among exiled Awami League leaders accused of corruption, money laundering, and murder. Many are reportedly seeking to relocate to safer countries. Analysts described the arrest as a milestone in international legal cooperation and a warning to fugitives abroad. Some noted that extradition may be complex, depending on diplomatic negotiations and host country decisions.
The ACC confirmed that Benazir was detained in connection with money laundering allegations and that documentation is being finalized for his repatriation. Authorities are emphasizing diplomatic efforts to ensure his return to Bangladesh.
