Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus said today (17 November) a list of 150 influential individuals accused of corruption and money laundering has been prepared, with investigations already underway against 79 of them.

In a national address marking the interim government's first 100 days, Yunus acknowledged the pervasive nature of corruption across all sectors.

He reaffirmed the government's commitment to combating this issue, pointing to efforts to protect not only the judiciary but also every sector of the country from its grip.

He also said the interim government will seek the repatriation of deposed "dictator" Sheikh Hasina from India.

Yunus e also assured the nation that all crimes committed over the past 15 years would be prosecuted.

"Not only for the murders of July and August, but we'll prosecute all the crimes committed over the past 15 years. Many people have been subjected to enforced disappearance and murdered during this time," the chief adviser said.
