The true power of the Ahmed Clan comes into focus. New evidence emerges showing the brothers are acting with impunity, cutting corrupt deals, committing human rights abuses and undermining Bangladesh’s democracy, while Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina looks on.

A tip brings our team to Budapest. We’ve received word that a mysterious businessman is actually a fugitive member of the Ahmed Clan who fled his murder conviction in the 1990s.

Through undercover recordings, confessional interviews, historical analysis and primary source documents, Al Jazeera Investigates exposes the corrupt and ongoing relationship between a criminal gang of brothers and the country’s leader.
