The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has blocked the accounts of Sajeeb Wazed Joy, former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s son; Saima Wazed Putul, Sheikh Hasina’s daughter; and Radwan Mujib Siddiq Bobby, Sheikh Rehana’s son.

The BFIU issued the order Monday.

The anti-money laundering agency also barred accounts belonging to Nasrul Hamid, a former state minister for power, energy, and mineral resources, as well as any accounts associated with the Centre for Research and Information (CRI) and its “Young Bangla” project.

The banks were instructed to block the accounts for 30 days in the first phase.

After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, the BFIU has frozen the accounts belonging to more than 100 politically exposed persons, including ministers, state ministers, member of parliament, businessmen, government officials and police officials.
