National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has initiated an enquiry against Prime Minister’s Political Adviser Haroon Akhtar Khan on corruption and tax evasion charges, a privy to NAB confided to Online.

Array of charges against him is money laundering, tax evasion and malpractice and now the government Anti-Corruption Department has taken tough stand against those persons who are involved in money laundering after Ayan Ali saga.

Haroon Akhtar Khan along with Saba Akhtar Khan and Ghazi Akhtar Khan are under investigation, the source said and provided a copy of charges being inquired about.

Khan owned Tandlianwala Sugar Mill situated in the centre of province of Punjab and the accused had carried out 700 million transactions suspiciously, which caused huge financial loss to the national exchequer.

The document showed that State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and Financial Monitor Unit (FMU) reports contain charges against Khan’s family in which more than 700 million were transacted suspiciously and now the charges against them are likely to be filed under money laundering law.

If the charges against them are proved, then the accused have to go to prison with heavy fine, the source told.
