Bangladesh PM graft probe initiated after controversy over the PM's servant flying a helicopter sparks corruption investigation.
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina says she is"taking measures" after a slew of corruption scandals -- including one involving her former household servant who now travels by helicopter after amassing a staggering $34 million fortune.
She said that included action against her household assistant -- a"peon" or low-level orderly -- who Bangladeshi media reported had previously been a water-bearer, in case she needed a drink at events."He can't move without a helicopter. How has he earned so much money? I took action immediately after knowing this."The average GDP per capita in the nation of around 170 million people is $2,529, according to the World Bank.
"If Sheikh Hasina's peon could make such an astronomical amount of money, you can guess how much his boss has made," said A.K.M. Wahiduzzaman, a spokesman for the Bangladesh Nationalist Party , the main opposition party."He was just removed from his post". The anti-corruption commission launched a probe into former national police chief Benazir Ahmed -- once viewed as a close Hasina ally -- accused of stashing an illegal multi-million dollar fortune. He rejects the allegations.
