Re: Assets of Imran Khan in Pakistan & Abroad
64 politicians issued notices over foreign assets - Pakistan - DAWN.COM
LAHORE: The Lahore High Court on Friday issued a notice to the federal government and at least 64 politicians on a petition seeking directions for the politicians to bring their foreign assets back to Pakistan.
The politicians include Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan, PML-Q Chief Chaudhry Shujaat Husain, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari.
Barrister Javed Iqbal Jafri had filed this petition originally in 1996 against 26 political leaders and later amended it, adding more names of politicians to it.
T**he lawyer stated that the respondent politicians had transferred at least $300,000 million to foreign countries through money laundering, causing a huge loss to the national exchequer. He said these politicians had not yet submitted to the court their affidavits regarding alleged money laundering despite repeated court orders. **
