A cocktail of corruption
January 20, 2021
The papers released in the Broadsheet case by a court in London reveal a trail of wrongdoing as well as pressure to change political sides in exchange for money, and a total mishandling of many affairs. The beginning of the matter comes in the deal reached by NAB, then led by General Amjad, with Broadsheet LLC. During this period, an amount of $3.5 million apparently owned by Aftab Sherpao were discovered in a New Jersey account. Later it seems, NAB after General Amjad had left his charge as head of the organisation, stated that Sherpao’s name had been placed on the list of people to be investigated by mistake and that this investigation should never have taken place. Sherpao went on to create the Pakistan People’s Party Patriots and then stand as interior minister, in the Musharraf government.
