Re: The National Accountability Bureau
That was the ehtesab bureau , at the time in '97 it was headed by a retired judge. I forget his name..
Anyway i posted about this on another thread
It’s interesting, I know of four people who were under investigation by NAB in the early days of Musharraf.
2 out of the four were politicians. One PML-N one PPP
1 was a bureaucrat and one a person from the legal profession.
All four had terrible reputations and were universally quite proud of how much money they had made by acts of ommission and commission.
By around early 2001 all four had been convicted of corruption.
Sounds good?
Well not quite, do you know what they are all up to now?
One of the politicians was acquitted on appeal (because the government withdrew the charges) and is now a high flier in the PML Q, the second politician is out on bail involved in raking in the money as his brother contested the election in his place (on a PML-Q ticket) and is also a high flier in the PML-Q.
The bureaucrat was released after 6 months and is now living the good life in England, investing on occassion in real estate in Pakistan. While the man from the legal profession contested and narrowly lost the elections to the senate. He holds a senior post in guess which party? yup the PML-Q.
