A Federal Bureau of Investigation probe has found that deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s son Sajeeb Wazed owns eight luxurious cars and he has involvement in five companies. The FBI probe has also found that Hasina and Sajeeb laundered $300 million (about Tk 3,600 crore) to the United States and the United Kingdom.
The US intelligence agency also claimed that they uncovered significant irregularities in the financial activities of Sajeeb. Based on the FBI findings, the Anti-Corruption Commission in Bangladesh on December 22, 2024 initiated an inquiry into the allegation against Hasina and Sajeeb of laundering $300 million to the United States and the United Kingdom.
The FBI report was submitted to an assistant attorney general for the criminal division of the US Department of Justice on April 23, 2023. The commission also obtained a copy of the FBI report, said ACC officials concerned. The FBI found eight luxurious vehicles owned by Sajeeb –– 2018 Mclaren 720S worth $2,50,578, 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT worth $1,09,806, 2015 Mercedes-benz S-class worth $51,008, 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sl-class worth $73,570, 2015 Lexus GX 460 worth $30,182, 2016 Land Rover Range Rover worth $37,586, 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee worth $ 7,491 and 2001 Grand Cherokee worth $ 4,477. According to the FBI report, the US intelligence agency discovered bank accounts of Sajeeb in Hong Kong and Cayman Island and found suspicious money transfers to Washington DC, New York and London through a local money exchange company.
The FBI has contacted its counterpart in the United Kingdom to look into Sajeeb’s suspicious activates, said the report saying that these findings raised serious concerns about potential illicit activities and necessitated further examination.
The FBI report said that special agent La Prevotte was contacted by US Department of Justice senior trial attorney Linda Samuels who requested the assistance of Washington Field with a case involving $300 millions stolen from Bangladesh and laundered through and into bank accounts in the United States. Noting that Hasina and Sajeeb laundered money to the United States and Cayman Island, the report stated that Department of Justice asset forfeiture or money laundering section requested the assistance of Washington Field to trace, restrain, seize and forfeit these funds. ‘Our investigation also revealed suspicious activity under the name Wazed Consulting Inc. Mr Wazed has acquired properties worth millions of dollars with cash. Wazed Consultant engaged in numerous business dealing with Bangladesh government and taking consulting for Bangbandhu-1 satellite project.’ it said. These financial transactions warrant careful scrutiny and investigation to determine their legality and ensure accountability, said the report.
The FBI also said that they contacted the ACC to cooperate in verifying bank account information and swift code validation, and to address any potential illegal activities. It also said that the probe found Sajeeb’s wife Kristine O Wazed with suspicious bank activities that took place in Massachusetts and Virginia. The FBI also said that its confidential informant gave two names of Sajeeb associates –– US unit Awami League president Siddiqur Rahman and its senior joint secretary Nizam Chowdhury.
The FBI also found Sajeeb’s involvement in five companies, including Wazed Consulting Inc, Ecom Systems Inc, Mvion Inc, and Intelligent Trade Systems Ltd. After the fall of the Awami League government on August 5 amid a student-led mass uprising, the ACC started probes into allegations of corruption against Hasina, her son Sajeeb and other family members.

Indiscriminate Border Aggression on Bangladeshi Locals.

INDIA VIOLATES BORDERS
India will not be allowed to build any kind of barbed wire fence within 150 yards of the border, said BD🇧🇩 Home Affairs Advisor Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury. Bangladesh will summon the Indian High Commissioner to protest the recent border provocations, He added
Whenever I asked myself why Indians were crying too much after Hasina's fall.
The answer is obvious, Almost Every corrupted and Looted money goes to India or Directly or indirectly benefits Indians.
Over $15 billion in dollars is that much money Hasina looted every year.
guess what? These are the people who are crying too much they were the biggest benefices of that money.
In Bangladesh, Hasina was deeply unpopular, and mostly corrupt people supported her like Modi one of them.
Except India, no countries are crying for her. Literally no one. every country refused to give her asylum like the USA, UK, and Canada infect at the very last moment UAE also rejected her.
enough to understand why the Indian stand is not the global stand regarding this issue.
India lost us as a reliable ally, now they are making us enemy. they will pay a very high price for this act.
