What role will Minister Tulip Siddiq play in the billion-pound wealth smuggled from Bangladesh to Britain? The issue has come to the fore following a recent decision by the British government and comments made by Tulip Siddiq, Daily Dazzling Dawn understand.

Associates of former Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina have spent millions buying up top-flight property assets in the UK, reported by British media.Tulip is the niece of the former Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.

Following suspicion of aiding and abetting New IRA members, the UK Treasury has sanctioned an Armagh man with a complete asset freeze.According to the Treasury, Brian Sheridan, who was born in Armagh, is also suspected of "making available funds or economic resources" for the New IRA or "providing or assisting others in providing financial services." This is the first instance of paramilitary activities in Northern Ireland being subject to the Treasury-led domestic counterterrorism sanctions framework.

Economic Secretary to the Treasury Tulip Siddiq said: “This designation reflects this government’s commitment to protecting the peaceful consensus of the people of Northern Ireland, and to upholding the principles of the Good Friday Agreement in support of the UK’s wider efforts to protect national security for all citizens.”The sanction will mean that all funds and economic resources owned, held or controlled by Sheridan in the UK are frozen.

This will make it an offence for any person or entity in the UK to maintain any direct or indirect financial relationship with him or any of the companies he owns or controls, including Brisher Ltd.Financial sanctions have been imposed under Regulation 5 of the Counter-Terrorism (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which allows the treasury to designate people by name for the purpose of freezing assets.
