Bangladeshi authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the British MP and former Labour minister Tulip Siddiq.
The country's Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has been investigating allegations Siddiq illegally received land as part of its wider probe of the regime of her aunt, Sheikh Hasina, who was deposed as prime minister in August.
The Hampstead and Highgate MP, who quit as economic secretary to the Treasury in January, was named in the arrest warrant alongside more than 50 others.
Lawyers acting for Siddiq denied the charges, which they said were "politically motivated".
The ACC had not presented any evidence or informed Siddiq about an arrest warrant, the lawyers added.
The UK lists Bangladesh as a 2B extradition country – meaning clear evidence must be presented before ministers and judges make a decision.
