The U.S. Department of State has barred former Bangladesh Army chief General Aziz Ahmed and his family from entering the U.S. due to his significant corruption. The State Department cited Ahmed's interference in public processes to aid his brother in evading justice, securing improper military contracts, and accepting bribes for government appointments.
