The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has initiated an investigation into allegations of money laundering involving former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy. The allegations claim that they are responsible for transferring $300 million overseas.

On Sunday, December 22, the ACC issued a statement confirming that the investigation had commenced. The notice indicated that the complaint filed against Sheikh Hasina and Joy had been forwarded to the Commission’s Director General (Special Investigation) for further inquiry.

Earlier, on Tuesday, the ACC had decided to launch an investigation into claims of irregularities and corruption amounting to 80,000 crore taka across nine different projects. The probe involves several high-profile individuals, including Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, her son Sajeeb Wazed Joy, and her niece Tulip Siddiq.
