    Well you’d want your anti-corruption minister to be very familiar with corruption, so she can battle it effectively. Know your enemy kind of thing.

    She comes from a Bangladeshi political dynasty. Her grandfather was the founding president of Bangladesh and her aunt was Prime Minister of Bangladesh for 15 years.

      Well it wasn’t her directly and alone, but her family who used to rule Bangladesh until a few months back. I wouldn’t be surprised if other corrupt authoritarians have amassed similar or more money in bribes throughout their reign. Putins private residence is estimated to have cost more than a billion dollar too.

      The crazy part is that she became a high ranking minister in the UK despite her family ties. Even if it wasn’t for the money, her Aunt has a lot of blood on her hands.
