In a letter to the ACC, her lawyers say the allegations are “false and vexatious”Former UK City minister Tulip Siddiq has accused Bangladeshi authorities of waging a “targeted and baseless” campaign against her. In a letter to Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), lawyers representing Tulip described allegations of financial misconduct as “false and vexatious,” according to a report published by the BBC. Tulip had referred herself to Starmer’s ethics advisor, Sir Laurie Magnus, after corruption allegations emerged in January. In the letter, Tulip’s lawyers said Abdul Motalif, who is "a close family friend and like a godfather to her", gave her the King's Cross flat. “All allegations raised against Tulip will be proven in any court, including the ones in the United Kingdom,” he told The Times.
