An anti-graft panel in Bangladesh has begun an inquiry into allegations of corruption and embezzlement by former premier Sheikh Hasina and her son Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed related to the Rooppur nuclear power plant being built by Russian and Indian firms.
NEW DELHI:
Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission said on Monday that information from open sources stated the project has been "marred by financial irregularities".
A special team of officials is conducting the inquiry into allegations that Hasina, Wazed and Hasina's niece Tulip Siddiq, the treasury minister of the UK, embezzled $5 billion from the "overpriced $12.65 billion" nuclear power project through "offshore bank accounts in Malaysia".
