- Judge Rabiul Alam of Dhaka’s Special Judge’s Court said Hasina misused her power as premier in the transaction. In a statement to AFP she rejected the verdict: “No country is free from corruption. But corruption needs to be investigated in a way that is not itself corrupt. The ACC has failed that test today.” The Awami League called the verdict “entirely predictable”.1 Dec 2025 · Al Jazeera · Bangladesh sentences British MP, Sheikh Hasina’s niece, to prison
