In its letter to the ACC, Siddiq's lawyers, Stephenson Harwood, repeat her claim that she was not involved in the nuclear plant deal in any way, despite being pictured at a signing ceremony in the Kremlin in 2013, with Sheikh Hasina and Russian president Vladimir Putin.

The ACC is examining claims Sheikh Hasina and her family embezzled up to £3.9bn from infrastructure spending in Bangladesh.

"At no point have any allegations been put to her fairly, properly and transparently, or indeed at all, by the ACC or anyone else with proper authority on behalf of the Bangladeshi government, " the letter says.

The letter says the ACC must put questions to Siddiq "promptly" and "in any event by no later than 25 March 2025" or " we shall presume that there are no legitimate questions to answer".

The ACC's chairman, Mohammad Abdul Momen, told The Times: "All allegations raised against Ms Siddiq will be proven in any court, including the ones in the United Kingdom."
