A Bangladeshi court imposes travel ban on ex-assistant to ex-PM over $2.2M unexplained wealth.

A Dhaka court has imposed a travel ban on Jahangir Alam, a former personal assistant to Bangladesh's ex-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and his wife, amid accusations of acquiring assets worth $2.2 million beyond their known income. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) filed a case after discovering suspicious transactions totaling over Tk 626 crore in bank accounts associated with Alam, suggesting money laundering and illegal wealth accumulation. This follows previous graft charges and bank account freezes due to suspicious activities.
