Alarming facts have emerged in the inquiry report on the 190 million-pound scam involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan and others.
The former government’s Asset Recovery Unit lost its record of correspondence with the UK’s National Crime Agency. The report also reveals Malik Riaz’s meeting with former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his accountability adviser Shahzad Akbar prior to the settlement of 190 million pounds.
According to the PM House archives, the meeting was held on July 11, 2019.
According to the study, Shahzad Akbar and Ziaul Mustafa Naseem had the missing record. The record was owned by the state of Pakistan and disappeared to conceal illegal activity.
The records were deliberately caused to disappear in order to impede the investigation, according to the report, which also stated that the Cabinet Division had looked into the missing records.
According to the report, Shahzad Akbar and Ziaul Mustafa Naseem are responsible for the data’ loss.
According to the inquiry report, Asset Recovery Unit Secretary Manzoor Kayani acknowledged the correspondence with the British National Crime Agency. The unit wrote letters to the NCA’s country manager, Usman Ahmed.
