Re: Musharraf’s chairman FBR dismissed
MASSIVE CORRUPTION BY ABDULLAH YOUSUF
Below is report about many acts of corruption of most notorious dacoit member of Musharraf Gang, Abdullah Yousuf, well known as ‘Chorman’ of FBR or ‘budha kanjar’.
**BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND **
Like many other carpetbaggers, this congenital crook returned from UK after he lost his accountant job due to dishonesty. By contacts and payments, he get appointment as MD Utility Stores. But within few years, due to rampant corruption and mismanagement, USC was almost bankrupted.
He again used contacts and payments to avoid punishment. He was rewarded with more lucrative post of Secretary Petroleum. There his corruption became legendary. Even Peoples Party made reference to NAB against his misdeeds. Reference is available on PPP website. Investigations were started by NAB, but he and Shoukat Aziz got the investigations shelved after payments to concerned quarters.
Then he got posting as Chairman FBR in 2004. Here he became well known as most corrupt chairman in history, with nickname of \'Chorman\'.
**MAJOR FRAUDS COMMITED BY ABDULLAH YOUSUF **
**MOBILE PHONE COMPANIES SCAM **
As soon as he joined FBR, he reduced tax on mobile phones. Earlier, due to heavy smuggling, custom duty and sales tax on mobile phones was charged as activation stage tax of Rs. 2000. But after receiving hefty bribe from mobile phone companies, he reduced that tax to 500, and then 0. Benefit to mobile companies was Rs. 2 billion. He got 10% commission.
**SALES TAX REFUNDS FRAUDS **
During 2004 to 2006, many huge frauds of refund of sales tax occurred in connivance with officers posted by Abdullah Yousuf by establishing fake companies, issuing fake invoices and getting illegal refunds. Biggest sales tax refund scams of Bawan Shah, Asif Sonara, Jhangra, etc. were happen in his tenure in which he earned billions of rupees which he share with Shoukat Aziz and Musharraf.
**BAWAN SHAH FRAUD **
Abdullah Yousuf was partner of Raja Zarat (Bawan Shah Group) who was once just clerk in customs department. Their friendship started after Raja Zarat recover Abdullah Yousuf’s daughter who elope with boyfriend. They maintained together accounts in Malaysia and Dubai. Their friendship was so strong that he delayed funeral of his mother till arrival of Raja Zarat. In 2005, Abdullah Yousuf inaugurated Shifa Eye Hospital of Raja Zarat in Karachi. Later, after Raja Zaraat arrested, he sent customs officers to remove inauguration plate from hospital. But, photographs and videos of inauguration are still available.
He use to transfer Collectors and other officers on recommendation of Raja Zarat. Raja Zarat was so powerful that even Collectors use to receive him at door of his car and did not dare talk in front of him. He openly supported Raja Zarat for sanction of his illegal refunds of Rs. 4 billion. He directed the Collectors to pay his refund quickly out of que. He directed Collector DTRE to give him DTRE in a single day. Their statements are on record in Directorate of Customs Intelligence and NAB. But then erupted a dispute between Abdullah Yousuf and Raja Zarat on money matters and thus he arrested him through Customs Intelligence.
To hide his crime, Abdullah Yousuf started involving sales tax persons with NAB, and cases were registered against more than 100 officers and staff. But all evidences about direct involvement of Abdullah Yousuf are available in NAB and Directorate Intelligence, Karachi. Statement and video of Raja Zarat is also on record about clear involvement of Abdullah Yousuf.
**PAY PHONE SCAM **
Mastermind of this scam was Sheraz Ahmed DC. He got involved some senior officers, who under pressure of telephone calls and threats by Abdullah Yousuf made illegal refund payments of millions of rupees to pay phone companies. Major chunk of kickback was given to Abdullah Yousuf by Sheraz Ahmed DC. Later, when the case was exposed, the senior officers were suspended and charge-sheeted, But Sheraz Ahmed was allowed to go on deputation to the Sindh Govt. This NOC was issued by FBR in June 2006, when the whole FBR remains busy in budget exercise and no transfer is even discussed. It shows interest of Abdullah Yousuf to protect his person.
**CARE SYSTEM SCAM **
Biggest fraud committed is through CARE system, which has not yet fully uncovered. CARE system was prepared mainly by Azhar Majeed Khalid Project Director, Ashir Azeem Gill Additional, Irfan Sarfraz DC and Omar Shafiq AC. Company who given contract for software was PWC, now Agility, has no experience in customs but only warehousing and trucking. Already available customs software used in many world countries like Asycuda was ignored. Azhar Majeed Khalid is owner of Atv channel., Ashir Azeem Gill has properties in Canada. Omar Shafiq poses as molvi but is most corrupt person and relative of notorious clearing agent Sharjeel who made crores of rupees in few months from CARE.
CARE system is full of defects which used by unscrupulous traders and corrupt officials to evade customs duties, clear banned items and obtain illegal refunds. Huge quantities of electronics, liqueur, cosmetics, fabrics, vehicles, auto parts and many other items were cleared though CARE due to manipulations by above named officers in connivance with Abdullah Yousuf. At least Rs.6 billion loss caused every year.
There is no audit since more than 3 years. Abdullah Yousuf tried his level best to roll out this defective CARE system to all ports, dry ports and airports of Pakistan, by giving contract of US $ 100 million to foreign company Agility Logistics. For kickback of $5 million, he made all efforts to awarded contract for 15 years before he leaving office.
**ALLOWED HUGE SALES TAX EVASION BY STOPPING AUDIT **
He stopped all audits of sales tax, thus allowing full-scale evasion of sales tax. He also removed all checks and balances in the sales tax law, so that his supporting companies could easily evade tax without fear. There was no audit since 2004, and companies are evading sales tax openly.
**MASSIVE SMUGGLING AFTER REMOVAL OF CUSTOM CHECKPOSTS **
In connivance with big smugglers, he removed all border checkposts, allowing massive smuggling and loss of billions of rupees revenue. He is known friend of big smugglers of Quetta, Peshawar and Sost.
**INCOME TAX FRAUDS **
He started complete self-assessment of Income Tax, without proper plan for audit, allowing big evasions.
During his tenure, mega-frauds in refund of Witholding Tax occurred. Illegal refunds were made by income tax officers who purchased expensive property in the UK. A scam was unearthed in Lahore where bogus refunds were issued during 2004-07 involving Rs. 103 million in 39 cases on forged documents. As usual, when these cases were detected, disciplinary action was taken against subordinate officers and staff although such refunds were issued under his threats and telephone calls.
**NEPOTISM **
He appointed his relative Abdul Razzak as Member Audit on huge pay package M-1, although he does not know even the ABC of tax audit. He had the reputation of having the ‘magical hands’ and could get anything approved from the Chorman.
Most of the lucrative postings and transfers were made on sifarish and recommendation instead of on merit. Even now, many of officers on most lucrative posts are sifirshi of Choudhry Shujaat and other politicians of previous government through Abdullah Yousuf.
**TAX AMNESTY SCAM **
Recently, Chorman again served his masters by issuing Tax Amnesty Scam. All the black money from tax evasion, smuggling and corruption of past eight years is to be made white by paying merely 2% on self-declared value of assets. This is big gift from Abdullah Yousuf to those who made millions and billions black money during past ‘golden age of profits’. That is why businessman community is supporting him. He allowed open tax evasion as bribe to them.
**OTHER **
He is biggest supporter of Musharraf, and only loyal to him. A famous video available on internet where he is drunk and dancing for Musharraf and Shoukat Aziz. He paid Rs. 4 billion per year to his bosses to stay in his post. He gave a false affidavit against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Choudry. He is enemy of democratic government. He claims to achieve targets, but it was all actually due to lot of aid and US dollars coming into Pakistan. Tax-GDP ratio is still less than 10%, which shows his inefficiency. In fact, he destroyed tax machinery in name of reforms, and lot of money given by World Banks for reforms was misused and wasted.
These all facts are brought to your notice to take action against notorious, corrupt \'Chorman\' FBR Abdullah Yousuf. He should immediately arrested and prosecuted to stop further loss to country. His name must put on ECL. NAB reference about corruption in Petroleum Ministry should be reopen. And he should be recovered billions of rupees he took illegally, which he keeping in foreign accounts.
