The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) says it has identified eight luxury cars and two houses in the United States linked to Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina, as part of a corruption and money laundering probe. The assets, worth more than Tk 600 million, were acquired beyond his known sources of income, according to the graftbusters. One of the cars is registered under the name of his former wife, Christina Wazed. The case, filed on Aug 14, 2024, accuses Joy of corruption, suspicious transactions and money laundering between 2000 and June 2024. The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit has meanwhile frozen Tk 63.5 billion across 124 bank accounts belonging to Hasina and her relatives.
