Awlad Hossain, a 51-year-old Queensland man, has been charged with bribing officials to influence an investigation into his wife's suspected murder in Bangladesh. Rehana Parvin, an Australian-Bangladeshi dual citizen and mother of five, was found dead by Bangladeshi police in September 2024. The AFP alleges that between September 2024 and September 2026, Hossain transferred more than $90,000 to associates in Bangladesh with instructions to bribe local officials to remove his name from the investigation. The Australian Federal Police executed search warrants at homes in Goodna and Redbank Plains on Tuesday, seizing electronic devices and financial records. Hossain will contest the bribery charge; his bail application is expected to be heard next month.
