I think Hasina will somehow save Aziz because he knows too much about Hasina's Kala Kartoot.

ACC decision likely today if ex-army chief Aziz to face probe

The Anti-Corruption Commission is likely to take a decision today regarding launching an inquiry into the corruption allegations against former army chief retired general Aziz Ahmed.
A scheduled meeting of the commission led by its chairman Mohammad Moinuddin Abdullah would be held on Tuesday at the commission headquarters in Dhaka where they may take a decision regarding an inquiry into the allegations against Aziz, said ACC officials on Monday.
Earlier on Thursday, the commission in a meeting discussed the graft complaints brought against Aziz, ordered its scrutiny cell to thoroughly examine the allegations and submit a report before the commission for the next course of action.
After the meeting ACC chairman Moinuddin Abdullah told New Age, 'We discussed the allegations against the former army chief.'
'We also asked the commission's scrutiny cell to scrutinise the allegations following rules and regulations and present a report before the commission,' he added.
ACC officials said on Monday that the three-member scrutiny cell had already completed its scrutiny and prepared a report.
Earlier, Supreme Court lawyer Salah Uddin Reagan filed a petition with the ACC on Wednesday seeking an inquiry into the alleged corruption of former army chief Aziz.
According to the lawyer's application, the United States sanctions against Aziz on corruption charges and the reports published in national dailies damaged the image of the Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh both nationally and internationally.
Reagan called unfortunate the ACC's reluctance to launch an investigation against Aziz even after such massive corruption allegations.
On May 21, the United States Department of State announced that the former chief of the Bangladesh Army, General Aziz Ahmed, and his family members were generally ineligible to enter the US due to his involvement in 'significant corruption'.
Talking to the media, Aziz, in his instant reaction, said that he was surprised at the announcement of such a US action against him on corruption allegations, which he termed baseless.
Aziz was Bangladesh army chief between 2018 and 2021.

Aussie MP seeks review of funding for Bangladesh

An Australian lawmaker on Tuesday urged the country's government to immediately review its funding arrangements with Bangladesh to ensure they were being used to support the people of Bangladesh and not filling the pockets of corrupt officials.
Abigail Boyd, member of the Legislative Council and Temporary Chair of Committees, came up with the demand in a notice submitted to the Parliament of New South Wales.
Boyd shared a video of her statement made in parliament on her verified Facebook page.
She brought the issue to the house, referring to recent United States sanctions on former Army chief Aziz Ahmed over his involvement in 'significant corruption'.
In her notice, she said that this House notes that, on May 20, 2024, the US Department of State announced the public designation of former General Aziz Ahmed, previously chief of the Bangladesh Army Staff, for significant corruption, including interfering in public processes, assisting his brother to evade accountability for criminal activity, and accepting bribes in exchange for government appointments.
In addition, she asked the parliament to note that there were many reports of corrupt activity being carried out by Bangladeshi officials, with the chair of the Bangladeshi Anti-Corruption Commission stating in November 2020 that corruption and bribery are rampant in government services.
The Greens member also said that corruption in Bangladesh had undermined its democratic institutions and the public's faith in public institutions and processes, and the Bangladeshi authorities had further undermined democratic institutions and processes by rigging elections and violently silencing or arresting over 8,000 members of the opposition party in order to maintain power, subjecting their citizens to arbitrary arrests, intimidation, surveillance, extortion, and torture, and carrying out over 600 enforced disappearances since 2009, of which 100 individuals are still missing.
She also said that the Australian government gave $116.2 million in developmental aid to Bangladesh in the 2023–24 financial year and supported Bangladeshi students as they pursued graduate school in Australia.
