Former Bangladesh prime minister Khaleda Zia was charged on Sunday in a graft case, as speculation mounted that the country’s emergency government will arrest her, police said. The country’s anti-graft commission alleged that Zia illegally influenced the selection of an operator for two state-run container depots during her second term as the country’s prime minister, police officer Jane Alam said. “Zia and her younger son Arafat Rahman Coco were among the 13 accused in the case. The anti-corruption commission has charged them with illegally influencing the bidding process,” he added. This was the first graft case filed against Zia by the country’s emergency government, which has launched a nationwide crackdown on corruption since taking over in January. Mass-circulated Bengali daily Naya Diganta said on Saturday that Zia, whose elder son has already been detained, would be arrested within the next three days as the government’s anti-graft body has readied several graft cases against her.
