ACC lunches probe into alleged Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project graft 

An investigation into claims of corruption, embezzlement, and money laundering related to the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project has been started by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC).

An ACC report titled ‘A summary on alleged corruption and embezzlement in Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project’ states that the entire investigation is being carried out by a special team consisting of five ACC personnel.

The aforementioned project has been plagued by financial problems totaling approximately US$5 billion, according to information from multiple available sources.

According to the study, former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, her son Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed (Joy), and her niece Tulip Siddiq stole $5 billion from the expensive Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, which cost $12.65 billion.

It is alleged that these individuals siphoned offs substantial sums of money through various offshore accounts in Malaysia, following questionable procurement practices related to the overpriced construction of the entire Nuclear Plant. 

According to the ACC study, the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant Project, which was first started with the admirable intention of meeting Bangladesh’s expanding energy needs, now seems to be overshadowed by these grave accusations.

The project’s integrity and the use of public funds are seriously called into question by the allegations of kickbacks, poor management, money laundering, and possible abuse of power.

The family members of Tulip Siddiq are accused of corruption:

The deposed Bangladeshi Prime Minister’s security advisor is Tulip’s paternal uncle, Tarique Ahmed Siddique. His wife and daughter are investors in a phony business called Prochchaya Limited (Incorporation Certificate Number C-75659/09, dated March 25, 2009).

This company, in affiliation with a cheat fund company named Destiny Group, had laundered around US$900 million to different countries, including the United Kingdom and has opened a company named Zumana Investment & Properties Limited [Incorporation Certificate Number 7417417, dated October 25, 2010] in the United Kingdom by investigating dirty money, the ACC said.

Numerous newspapers in the UK and around the world assert that since seeing President Putin, Labour Party MP Tulip Siddiq has kept up covert ties with Moscow.

Sajeeb Joy and Sheikh Hasina launder $300 million to the United States:

Other allegations state that in the 2014 case of the United States versus Rizvi Ahmed, Sajeeb Ahmed Wazed (Joy) was initially mentioned as a possible money laundering suspect.
