Hasan Mahmud and his wife-daughter's bank account seizure order

The Financial Intelligence Department has ordered the seizure of all bank accounts of former foreign minister and joint-general Awami League leader of Bangladesh Awami League Hasan Mahmud, his wife and daughter.

This directive has been sent to all banks and financial institutions by the Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU). Hashan Mahmud was arrested a day after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.
