Former Labour anti-corruption minister Tulip Siddiq is to face trial in Bangladesh this month over allegations that she illegally received land from her aunt, the nation's ex-leader.
The MP for Hampstead and Highgate is accused of having obtained plots from Sheikh Hasina, who was ousted as prime minister last year, through 'abuse of power and influence'.
Bangladesh's new government has been investigating claims that her family embezzled up to £3.9billion from infrastructure spending.
The nation's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) accuses Ms Siddiq of obtaining a 7,200 sq ft plot of land in the Purbachal diplomatic zone of the capital, Dhaka.
Prosecutor Mir Ahmed Ali Salam claimed she 'influenced her aunt to get land properties for family members'.
