22 Sep
Summary
- Queensland man charged with bribing officials in Bangladesh.
- His wife's body was found under suspicious circumstances.
- He allegedly sent $90,000 to influence the investigation.
A Queensland man, Awlad Hossain, has been charged with bribing officials in Bangladesh concerning the suspicious death of his wife, Rehana Parvin. Parvin's body was found by Bangladeshi police in September 2024, shortly after a missing person report was lodged in Queensland for the dual Australian-Bangladeshi national. The Australian Federal Police (AFP) allege that Hossain, 51, sent $90,000 to Bangladesh. This alleged bribe was intended to influence officials and remove his name from police records related to the investigation into his wife's death. Hossain, who was in custody, was scheduled to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court, but the matter was adjourned. The investigation into Parvin's death is ongoing, with authorities treating it as suspicious.
