Lawmakers, Lawbreakers
When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.
Labour MP Tulip Siddiq Fights Corruption Charges in Bangladesh: Interpol Red Notice Looms
- Monday, 14 April 2025
Labour MP Tulip Siddiq faces an Interpol Red Notice and potential extradition if she fails to attend a corruption hearing in Bangladesh by April 27th. An arrest warrant was issued for her in Dhaka after she was accused of pressuring her aunt, then-Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed, to allocate land plots for her mother, brother, and sister, all based in the UK. Siddiq has denied the charges, calling it a "politically motivated smear campaign". If she does not appear, Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission will request Interpol's assistance in securing her arrest and extradition.
