The United States is aware of recent media reports on a Bangladesh ex-land minister's alleged assets abroad reportedly worth £200 million, said US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller.

Speaking during a press briefing yesterday, Miller also emphasised the United States' expectation that elected officials in Bangladesh abide by national laws and financial regulations related to graft.

This statement came after a journalist referenced a Bloomberg report alleging involvement of Bangladeshi government officials in corruption.

The journalist mentioned former land minister Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, whose alleged assets abroad reportedly reach £200 million. 

When questioned about US actions to address the issue and promote global anti-corruption efforts, Miller said, "We are aware of these reports and encourage the Government of Bangladesh to ensure that all elected officials comply with the country's laws and financial regulations."
