Arafat Rahman Koko is currently being tried for corruption

The younger son of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, Arafat Rahman Koko is currently being tried for corruption, false declaration of assets and money laundering. He is alleged to have taken bribes in connection with public works projects awarded by the Bangladesh government to Siemens AG, a German corporation, and China Harbor Engineering Company, a Chinese corporation. Other allegations include using his influence during his mother's term as Prime Minister to earn money illegally between 2004 and 2007.
On March 2007, documents from Koko's Navigations company headquarters were seized by the Bangladeshi Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). Following the immediate freeze of all bank accounts by the National Board of Revenue (NBE) in April 2007, Koko was held for questioning but was later released.In addition to a graft case filed in October 2002, another graft case was filed against Koko in September of 2007 by the ACC for violating tender conditions in appointing a container-handling firm, Global Agro Trade (Private), and Company Limited (GATCO. Following his arrest, Koko was jailed, though bail was later granted on December 2, 2007.

In April 2008, the ACC sued Koko for concealing information of wealth and accumulation of illegal wealth, the charge sheet filed for illegal accumulation of wealth was filed in July of 2008, and the charge sheet file in the GATCO corruption case was filed in May 2008.

In December 2008, the unveiling of concealed information of foreign currencies deposited in a Singaporean bank prompted the United States to become involved. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently seeking a $3,000,000 forfeiture action against Koko for the accounts that are alleged to be the proceeds of the conspiracy bribe. The forfeiture action against the funds, held by multiple account holders, was filed in January 2009 in a US District Court. News articles citing statements from Bangladeshi Law Minister Shafique Ahmad that representatives from USDOJ and Fedous Ahmed from the United Kingdom's Institute of Management were assisting in investigations to recover stolen assets estimated as high as US $200,000,000.
In March 2009, the ACC again chose to charge Koko with money laundering. This case, filed under Money Laundering Prevention Act 2009, accuses Koko of laundering funds he had received in bribes to Singapore worth nearly US $932,000. The ACC will investigate the case and if found guilty, Koko may be sentenced up to seven years in jail. 
Currently Koko is receiving treatment at Bangkok on parole granted on July 19 2008 last year after he fell ill and was extended by one month until April 16, 2009.
