Author: Mustansar Abbas

ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal on Wednesday directed the authorities to verify complaints registered against Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, alleging him of money laundering.

According to a press release, NAB has initiated a preliminary verification into allegations of money laundering against Khawaja Asif. It was further stated that the investigation would be initiated on basis of the leveled allegations.

The press release further mentioned that the foreign minister’s statements would be recorded by the accountability bureau, after which final decision would be made for further proceedings.

In January, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Usman Dar had presented a letter to NAB requesting to probe alleged financial embezzlement by Khawaja Asif.

It was added that the foreign minister is part of the ‘gang’ involved in covering up money laundering and ‘corruption’ done by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.
