UK-based investigators are assessing how they might assist with inquiries into alleged large-scale corruption in Bangladesh, UK-based Sky News reported.

This development follows remarks from Bangladesh’s interim leader, who claimed that Labour MP Tulip Siddiq had "wealth left behind" in the country and "should be held accountable."

Tulip resigned as Minister for Anti-Corruption in January after being named in corruption investigations launched by Bangladeshi authorities.

A spokesperson for the London MP stated that she "categorically denies the allegations" and has "not been contacted regarding these matters."
