ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Startling facts surfaced in the charge sheet against founder PTI and Bushra Bibi in £190m Al-Qadir Trust case.
“In April 2019, Al-Qadir University did not exist. In Britain, the National Crime Agency traced the £190 million. Before the money was transferred to Pakistan, the head of East Recovery Unit Shahzad Akbar made a secret agreement with the property tycoon,” he said.
“Founder found guilty of the violating PTI Rules of Business 1973. Shahzad Akbar signed the National Crime Agency (NCA) confidentiality deed on December 6, 2019. PTI founder approved the Al-Qader Trust in the cabinet with its influence,” the charge sheet maintained.
“Bushra Bibi helped founder PTI by signing documents as trustee on 24 March 2021,” the charge sheet said.
PTI Founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have been indicted in the £190 million scandal reference in a hearing held by the Islamabad accountability court in Adiala Jail on Tuesday.
The court has now sought five witnesses in the next hearing. Accountability Court judge Nasir Javed Rana held the hearing and announced the verdict.
Both accused refuse charges levelled against them by the prosecution.
However, two applications submitted by Imran Khan have been approved. The PTI founder had sought permission to have a checkup conducted from a dentist as well as a general physician of his choice.
