Hasina family: how much money has been frozen in whose account

Among the 124 bank accounts in the name of deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina, her family and associated entities and parties that have been ordered to be frozen, the accounts of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Trust have the most money.

In addition, the accounts of the Awami League, Suchona Foundation, Centre for Research and Information, or CRI, and Abu Siddiq Memorial Trust also have large amounts of funds.

Hasina's sister Sheikh Rehana, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, daughter Saima Wazed Putul, Rehana's son Radwan Mujib Siddiq Bobby and husband Shafiq Ahmed Siddique, his brother Tareque Ahmed Siddique, his wife Shaheen Siddique and daughter Bushra Siddique's bank accounts were also included in the list.

Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib ordered the attachment of the bank accounts on Tuesday following a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission, or ACC.

Around Tk 6.35 billion in 124 accounts have been frozen.

The petition filed by ACC Deputy Director Md Monirul Islam noted that the individuals involved were “attempting to transfer or relocate” movable assets.

He argued that it was necessary to immediately freeze the accounts in the interest of a fair investigation.

TK 4.79 billion in 32 accounts belonging to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Trust

Tk 557.3 million in 16 accounts of CRI

Earlier, Chief Advisor’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam said that assets linked to Hasina and her family members have been traced in the United States, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Cayman Islands.

Additionally, an investigation has uncovered the existence of a Russian "slush fund" in a Malaysian bank account associated with the family.

On the other hand, the court barred Hasina, who went into exile in India, and her family members from leaving the country over allegations of embezzlement of huge funds in the name of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant’s construction.
