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

The BFIU issued this order on Monday.

Additionally, the anti-money laundering agency has frozen the accounts of Nasrul Hamid, former state minister for power, energy, and mineral resources, as well as any accounts linked to the Centre for Research and Information (CRI) and its "Young Bangla" project.

Banks have been instructed to block these accounts for an initial period of 30 days.

Following the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, the BFIU has frozen the accounts of over 100 politically exposed individuals, including ministers, state ministers, members of parliament, businessmen, government officials, and police officers.
