Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Tuesday sought Canada’s support to recover the money siphoned off from Bangladesh to the North American country.
He said that hundreds of billions of dollars were stolen from Bangladesh by oligarchs, cronies, and politicians connected with the Sheikh Hasina dictatorship, and a part of it was laundered to Canada, including in buying assets in Toronto’s infamous ‘Begum Para’ neighbourhood, according to a press release issued by the chief adviser’s press wing.
