ISLAMABAD: Did the property tycoon and the National Crime Agency (NCA) complete the £190 million repatriation agreement on their own, without assistance from Imran Khan’s administration?
Official documents, such as the cabinet-approved sealed memo, indicate otherwise.
The removal of the property czar’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL) at least 20 times during Khan’s rule and the matching of the tycoon’s travel records to the UK with those of the then-special assistant to the prime minister (SAPM), Mirza Shahzad Akbar, demonstrate the government’s crucial role and active facilitation in negotiating the agreement between the NCA and the tycoon.
