LONDON — British Treasury Minister Tulip Siddiq resigned from the British authorities Tuesday night time to keep away from an ethics probe changing into a “distraction” to the federal government.
Siddiq — whose City of London transient contains anti-corruption obligations — has confronted scrutiny in latest weeks over her ties to the ousted regime of Bangladesh’s Sheikh Hasina, who’s her aunt.
She is being investigated by the nation’s Anti-Corruption Commission, and referred herself to the U.Okay.’s personal ethics watchdog after media studies over properties linked to her aunt and her allies.
This growing story is being up to date.
