Bangladesh estimates $16 billion siphoned yearly in Sheikh Hasina's 15-year rule

An average $16 billion was illicitly siphoned out of Bangladesh annually during former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s 15-year rule, according to a government committee's findings. Interim leader Muhammad Yunus received a white paper on the economy showing projects with inflated costs and corrupt activities. Former leaders from Hasina’s party are either in jail, hiding, or have fled the country.
