Transparency International asks British Government to Seize Nawaz Shairf's assets

FORMER PAKISTAN PM SENTENCED OVER CHARGES RELATING TO UK PROPERTY

Former Pakistan PM sentenced over charges relating to UK property
UK must now act on properties

6th July 2018, London – Following the sentencing today in Pakistan of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, on corruption charges related to four London properties, the UK must now investigate those assets and no longer provide a safe haven for Sharif and his family.

If a UK investigation concludes that the properties have been bought with corrupt money, then the authorities should move to seize the assets. Transparency International also calls on UK law enforcement to investigate any further property in the UK owned by the Sharif family.

Sharif was today sentenced to ten years in prison for owning assets beyond his income, whilst his daughter received seven years for her role. In 2016 the Panama Papers exposed links between several members of the Sharif family and offshore companies that were allegedly used to purchase London property. Today’s court ruling ordered the confiscation of these properties for the Government of Pakistan.

It has been reported that Nawaz Sharif is currently in London and has regularly been visiting the UK during the trial. The UK Government has consistently said it aims to crackdown on the laundering of corrupt funds through the UK, although recent media reports suggest that the authorities failed to properly assist Pakistani counterparts during this investigation.

Rachel Davies Teka, Head of Advocacy at Transparency International UK, said:

“We are calling on the UK authorities to investigate the London-based assets identified in this conviction and ensure that Sharif and his family are no longer able to enjoy any luxury homes that are found to have been bought with the proceeds of corruption. Furthermore we believe the UK must look into any other potentially criminal UK based assets owned by the Sharif family.”

“This will serve as an important test as to how serious the Government is on cracking down on the prevalence of corrupt money in our capital. The laundering of dirty money is not confined to Russian oligarchs and it is important that we target illicit assets wherever they originate from.”

“The recent passing of legislation that will require British Overseas Territories to publicly reveal the true owners of companies is a key step towards preventing the purchase of UK property with suspicious wealth. The UK must now ensure it follows through on this legislation, so that we no longer need to rely on leaks like the Panama Papers to reveal cases such as this one.”

Arrest and execution of Nawaza Lohaar and his equally criminal haram raised daughter has become a necessity.

They would probably try to bail Nawaz out of it. He is a puppet of west afterall

 

[c'estmoi]

Nothing will happen to him. He is a puppet of international establishment which is against Pakistan's interest.

 

[papoo786]

Doesn't matter he is puppet of international establishment, still if their institutions are working, no body can save them, All other countries respect theirs institutions except Pakistan Government.

UK is a safe heaven for Shareef. This is a safe heaven for all those who looted and killed millions of people in Pakistan. This is already proven in the case Altar Husain

If a UK investigation concludes that the properties have been bought with corrupt money

They clearly mentioned,

Even here the JIT didn't have any proof that the money was made through unfair means. I do not think that it is even possible to prove when the commission has been collected outside the country.

The NAB court has convicted Sharif family for having acquired assets beyond means, which means no money trail.

UK courts will ask the same question?

and the Sharifs will not be able to provide the same!

Sharif's are roasted and toasted alive.

If UK starts investigation, they HAVE to prove the source and channel of money that has been put as down payment for those 4 properties, as one sovereign Govt has termed them to be bought from unknown sources and needs to be confiscated.

The Sharifs are trying to portray that they weren't found to have done any corruption but if they acquired assets beyond their means then how do you think they made that money? They did not provide a money trail because the money would almost certainly have been through theft or corruption.

By not providing any evidence they put a question mark on how they bought the assets and hoped that they would be acquitted. It's the same as any criminal refusing to admit or say anything in case it was used as evidence against them. They also submitted fake documents and made contradictory statements which all indicate that they indeed used laundered money to buy the assets and are guilty.
