ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan, a former prime minister, and his wife Bushra Bibi has been called to appear before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi in connection with the 190 million pound scandal case today (Wednesday).
The chairman of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has been asked to appear before the joint investigative team. Imran Khan and his wife received a second notice from the nation’s top anti-graft watchdog, which deemed their response inadequate.
As a witness, Bushra Bibi has previously received letters from the National Accountability Bureau. Along with the Al-Qadir Trust’s registration paperwork and her registration with the HEC, the former first lady has also been asked to provide information on gifts she has received.
Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his wife Bushra Bibi have been listed on the Exit Control List (ECL) as a result of their suspected involvement in the illicit transfer of £190 million in this case, which was approved by the Pakistani government last month.
The transfer of money from the National Crime Agency (NCA) account in Britain is a factor in this case. Bushra Bibi was requested by the NAB Rawalpindi to testify as a witness because of her position as a trustee of the Al-Qadir University Trust. The NAB’s combined investigative team (CIT) has called former prime minister Imran Khan to an appointment.
The investigation into the matter began in 2019 when the British authorities learned that the son of a well-known Pakistani real estate billionaire and his wife had £140 million in an account. The National Crime Agency put the money on hold because they thought it might be the profits of crime. Surprisingly, neither the people nor their spouse disputed the account freezing. The UK remitted the money to the Pakistani government in 2019 after following legal procedures and laundering it.
