Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) and Transparency International US have jointly sent letters urging the US Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to freeze funds illicitly transferred from Bangladesh and return them to the country.

In letters addressed to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, the leaders of both organizations also called on the Bangladesh government to cooperate with the US and other nations to hold those responsible for the illicit funds accountable and to recover the laundered money.

This information was revealed in a TIB press release issued on Tuesday, according to local media reports.
