Dhaka/Paris, April 10, 2025 – A Bangladeshi court has escalated legal proceedings against former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, issuing a new arrest warrant on Thursday in a corruption case alleging the fraudulent procurement of a residential plot. The warrant also targets her daughter, Saima Wajed Putul, and 17 others, intensifying scrutiny on the deposed leader’s tenure.
Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Zakir Hossain Galib accepted a charge sheet filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission, which accuses the group of illicitly obtaining the property. With all named individuals currently absconding, the court ordered their arrest to advance the investigation. Hasina, who fled Bangladesh amid political turmoil, faces mounting legal challenges as authorities probe allegations of financial misconduct during her leadership.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Wednesday that France may recognize a Palestinian state as early as June, a move he framed as part of a broader push for regional stability. Speaking on the matter, Macron stated, “We need to move towards recognition (of a Palestinian state)...” He suggested that such a step could be paired with reciprocal recognition of Israel by certain West Asian nations, aiming to foster balanced diplomacy.
The proposal drew mixed reactions. Hamas welcomed Macron’s remarks, describing them as an “important step” toward Palestinian statehood. Conversely, Israel’s foreign minister sharply criticized the plan, signaling potential diplomatic friction. France’s initiative reflects ongoing global efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict amid heightened tensions in the region.
Both stories underscore significant shifts on the international stage, from Bangladesh’s pursuit of accountability to France’s bold diplomatic overture. As legal and geopolitical developments unfold, the global community watches closely for their broader implications.
