Tulip Siddiq, the UK’s anti-corruption minister and niece of Bangladesh's former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, resigned on January 14, 2025. She faced allegations about her family’s involvement in financial irregularities linked to infrastructure projects in Bangladesh. Although an independent review cleared her of misconduct, Siddiq decided to resign, saying her role could become a distraction for the government. The investigation also highlighted properties tied to Siddiq's family. Siddiq, who denied any wrongdoing, was replaced by Emma Reynolds as the new financial services minister.
