|Hindustan Times Thane
A Bangladesh court sentenced British lawmaker and former minister Tulip Siddiq in absentia to two years in jail on Monday in a corruption case involving the alleged illegal allocation of a plot of land, prosecutors said.
Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is Siddiq’s aunt, was sentenced in absentia to five years in jail and her sister Rehana to seven.
Siddig, who resigned in January as Britain's minister responsible for financial services and anti-corruption efforts following scrutiny over financial ties to Hasina, said in a statement the trial process was “flawed and farcical”.
