Probe reveals Maryam Nawaz owns Mayfair flats, Imran claims

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday tweeted that the documents released by the British Virgin Island’s Federal Investigation Agency (BVFIA) show that offshore companies were listed under the ownership of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz.

Imran Khan claimed that the documents showed that Maryam Nawaz was the owner of the offshore companies that owned Mayfair apartments. He alleged that Nawaz Sharif used Maryam Nawaz to launder money abroad since she does not have a source of income.

These BVI FIA documents conclusively prove Maryam Nawaz beneficial owner of companies that own the Mayfair apartments worth billions of rupees. She had no source of income so money stolen from Pak & laundered by Nawaz Sharif in Maryam’s name. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/COPFOs6bL2

On Friday, Imran Khan had termed Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif a ‘security risk’ for the country.

The statement came a day after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiated formal proceedings against Asif to probe into his alleged involvement in money laundering on a complaint received from the PTI.

In a meeting with PTI member Usman Dar, Imran welcomed NAB’s move to commence inquiry in the complaint sent to NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal in January in which Dar had accused Asif of financial wrongdoing and money laundering.
