🚨🇧🇩 HASINA FAMILY BLASTS $5B CORRUPTION CLAIMS

Sheikh Hasina’s son, Sajeeb Wazed, slammed allegations of skimming $5B from Bangladesh’s $12.65B nuclear plant deal as “bogus” and a “smear campaign.”

His defense?

Wazed:

“It is not possible to siphon off billions from a $10 billion project.

We also don’t have any offshore accounts. I have been living in the U.S. for 30 years, my aunt and cousins in the UK for a similar amount of time.

We obviously have accounts here, but none of us have ever seen that kind of money.”

The Anti-Corruption Commission accuses Hasina, Wazed, and UK minister Tulip Siddiq of hiding funds in offshore accounts.

Siddiq denies it, and UK PM Keir Starmer still backs her.

Hasina is in India after fleeing an uprising in August.

🚨🇬🇧🇧🇩 MINISTER ACCUSED OF $5B “ANTI-CORRUPTION” FAIL

City Minister Tulip Siddiq, supposed to fight UK financial fraud, is accused of helping her family swipe $5 billion from a nuclear power project in Bangladesh.

The funds allegedly vanished through fake companies and offshore bank accounts—classic playbook.

The probe also ropes in her mom, Sheikh Rehana, and aunt, Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh’s ex-prime minister.

Investigators are sending questions through the British High Commission, and charges (plus arrests) could be next if she stays silent.

Siddiq calls the claims “spurious.”

Labour insists no one’s reached out—but hey, $5 billion doesn’t just stroll off into a Swiss vault on its own.
