Early life and education

Radwan was born on 21 May 1980 in the United Kingdom.[17] He is a London School of Economics graduate in political science.[17]

Career

Radwan looks after the institution as a trustee of Center for Research and Information (CRI), the research institute aligned with Awami League's 'Young Bangla'.[18] In August 2022, Radwan served as Strategic Advisor – Governance at UNDP Bangladesh.[19][20][21]

In April 2025, the Anti-Corruption Commission seized Radwan's properties and those of his family members after filing a successful petition with Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Zakir Hossain.[22] The seizures were linked to corruption cases involving the allocation of government-developed plots of land, in which Radwan and other members of Sheikh Hasina’s family were later tried and convicted in absentia.[23][24][25][26] In the same plot allocation case involving Tulip Siddiq, a group of British lawyers described the proceedings as “contrived and unfair”.[27][28] In February 2026, he was sentenced to 7 years in jail for the Purbachal scam cases.[29][30]
