Taking cue from Paradise Paper Leaks, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) began investigating 31 Pakistanis over possession of wealth in foreign countries.
An FBR spokesperson had revealed earlier this month that the authority was examining the Paradise Paper Leaks.
FBR has asked the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) to provide information about the named individuals, including their ten-year travel histories and details of companies registered under their names.
FIA and SECP have already provided the details of 13 of the named individuals, the majority of whom hold more than one passport.
The Paradise Papers Leaks have named 135 Pakistani nationals including former prime minister Shaukat Aziz.
Paradise Papers, similar to Panama Papers, is a database and comprises around 13.4 million documents, which reveal over 25,000 companies owned by rich and influential individuals from across the world.
