Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit goes on the trail of The Minister’s Millions to find out how he built a half-billion-dollar property empire - on a thirteen-thousand-dollar salary. Saifuzzaman Chowdhury, a close ally of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, bought hundreds of luxury properties in London, Dubai, and New York, but declared none of them to tax authorities in Bangladesh.
The former land minister gives a guided tour of his $14m London home; he owns 360 in the UK alone. Now authorities in Bangladesh have frozen his bank accounts and are investigating claims the former minister laundered millions of dollars into Britain. He says he’s innocent and the victim of a political witch-hunt.
