Money Laundering: Bangladesh

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 February 2025UIN 26822

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will request that the National Crime Agency undertakes an investigation into the (a) laundering of funds from Bangladesh into the United Kingdom and (b) role of the Awami League.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The UK is committed to fighting corruption and illicit finance both domestically and internationally. As with all cases, it is for independent law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to determine whether to undertake investigations

The National Crime Agency is part of the UK's effort to support Bangladesh in tackling corruption as well as wider law enforcement issues. As a matter of policy, we do not routinely confirm or deny NCA investigations.
