Bangladesh Court seek Interpol Red Notice For UK Lawmaker Siddiq

A court in Bangladesh ordered authorities to seek an Interpol red notice against British lawmaker and former minister Tulip Siddiq on Thursday over alleged corruption linked to a private real estate project in the capital. 

The court issued the order after the Anti-Corruption Commission filed a petition seeking international assistance for her arrest.

The ACC alleges that Siddiq used her close family ties to former Prime Minister



Sheikh Hasina to influence the allocation of government land to a private company.

Siddiq, who is Hasina's niece, has repeatedly denied the allegations, describing earlier verdicts against her as "flawed and farcical". She has also said she is a British citizen, not a Bangladeshi national.

She did not immediately respond to email requests for comment, and there was no immediate reaction from her following the latest court order.
