Keir Starmer declines to meet Bangladesh leader tracking down missing billions

Sir Keir Starmer has turned down a request to meet Bangladesh’s leader during a visit to London aimed at raising support for efforts to recover billions of dollars siphoned off by the deposed regime of Sheikh Hasina. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus told the Financial Times the UK should feel “morally” obliged to help Bangladesh’s new government track down funds “stolen” by the previous regime, much of it allegedly now in the UK.
