Bangladesh's Ex-President Faces Corruption Probe After Resignation

Mohammed Shahabuddin, the former President of Bangladesh, recently resigned due to health issues.

He was 76 years old and had been in office since 2023.

The government is now investigating him for corruption allegations that date back to before he became president.

Shahabuddin was a longtime ally of the deposed prime minister, Sheikh Hasina.

The acting president, Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, will serve for 90 days while a new president is elected.

Shahabuddin has denied some of the allegations, calling them baseless.

He had previously served as a judge and in other government roles.
