ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi has filed a petition in an accountability court to seek the seizure of properties owned by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Zulfi Bukhari.
According to the petition, Bukhari has been declared a proclaimed offender by the court, prompting the request for the confiscation of his assets. These include 34 kanals of land in Islamabad and 1,300 kanals in Attock.
This legal action is part of the broader proceedings related to the £190 million case, which also implicates former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, Farah Gogi, and Shehzad Akbar. Notably, Farah Gogi and Shehzad Akbar, like Zulfi Bukhari, have not appeared before the court in this case.
The origins of the £190 million case involve allegations of significant financial misconduct involving top political figures in Pakistan.
The case centers around accusations of laundering substantial sums of money, purportedly linked to public funds and development projects.
The case has attracted widespread attention due to the high profile of the individuals involved and the substantial amounts of money in question.
As the legal proceedings continue, NAB is pressing for stringent measures against the accused, including asset seizures to potentially recover misappropriated funds.
