Motiur Rahman, ex-NBR official, and his wife Laila Kaniz were arrested in Dhaka over allegations of amassing illegal wealth. Their involvement in the “Goat Incident,” where their son’s extravagant Qurbani goat purchase sparked public outrage, led to scrutiny. The Anti-Corruption Commission found evidence of undeclared assets, including land, flats, resorts, and industrial establishments worth 1.24 billion BDT. Their bank accounts were frozen, and travel bans were imposed. They submitted wealth statements following ACC notices but remain under investigation.

A Dhaka court has ordered the seizure of 200 crore taka in assets and the freezing of 87 bank accounts of S Alam and his family members over allegations of laundering one billion dollars to Singapore. The assets include buildings and plots in Dhaka and Chittagong, and large sums deposited in Union Bank and Global Islami Bank accounts. The move follows an earlier travel ban imposed on the family members in October.

Dr. Muhammad Yunus, Bangladesh’s interim Chief Advisor, has urged an investigation into UK Anti-Corruption Minister Tulip Siddiq’s London properties, alleging they may stem from corruption during the ousted Awami League government. Tulip, granddaughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, denies any wrongdoing. Reports link her to properties owned by offshore entities tied to Bangladeshi businessmen. Yunus criticized such practices as “plain robbery” and called for accountability. Meanwhile, UK authorities are monitoring the situation, with growing pressure on Siddiq to address the claims.
