The US Department of State has announced the public designation of General Aziz Ahmed, formerly Chief of Bangladesh’s Army Staff, for his involvement in significant corruption.
According to the statement, Aziz engaged in significant corrupt activities by interfering with public processes and helping his brother avoid accountability for criminal activities in Bangladesh.
He also worked closely with his brother to secure the inappropriate awarding of military contracts, accepting bribes in return for government appointments to benefit himself.
After the public designations, Aziz and his immediate family are generally ineligible to enter the United States.
