The former City minister Tulip Siddiq has said she fears prosecutors could be planning to use “fake” documents to secure her conviction in her trial in Bangladesh on corruption charges.
Siddiq said the documents that appeared in the Times and Prothom Alo, a prominent Bangladeshi newspaper, were forgeries.
She responded: “Are you aware I am a British MP?
The anti-corruption commission prosecuting Siddiq has claimed that a summons was sent to an address listed on Siddiq’s Bangladesh passport, national identity card and in the voter roll.
Siddiq said she had never lived at the address said to be contained on what she described as “fake documents”.
