A Dhaka court has ordered the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to freeze 124 bank accounts belonging to former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her sister Sheikh Rehana, and five other family members amid an ongoing corruption investigation. The court also approved the seizure of properties, including Hasina's residence, and imposed a travel ban on Hasina and her family. The ACC alleges that the accused are attempting to transfer or misappropriate movable assets. The court's decisions come as part of a broader crackdown on corruption in Bangladesh, with the interim government enacting laws to prevent money laundering and streamline the recovery of laundered funds. The Finance Adviser has expressed optimism about recovering a substantial amount of laundered money this year, which is reportedly spread across various countries.
