Bangladesh authorities have seized about US$6.2 billion in assets they link to Sheikh Hasina, the former prime minister who was ousted, according to reports citing the country’s Financial Intelligence Unit. The unit says it has opened 98 cases as part of investigations into Hasina and associates. The cases focus on alleged financial misconduct and on funds that authorities say were moved abroad. Authorities are working to identify, track and recover money they believe has been transferred overseas, and the reported figure reflects assets already seized as part of these efforts. The investigations are ongoing, and the seizures are part of a broader process to pursue suspects named in the cases and to trace proceeds that may be held in different jurisdictions. The reports do not provide additional details on the specific assets seized, their locations, or which associates are included in the cases, but they agree on the scale of seizures and the number of cases opened.
