A court in Bangladesh’s capital has ordered authorities to request that Interpol issue a red notice for the arrest of a British lawmaker on charges of corruption in a private real estate project. Tulip Siddiq faces charges of corruption in Bangladesh for using her connection with her aunt, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, to influence a process to illegally award land to a private company in Dhaka. The order was issued Thursday after a petition by the corruption watchdog. Siddiq has already been sentenced to six years in jail in Bangladesh in three other corruption cases all involving Hasina. She had earlier rejected all corruption charges.
