A good and just move by Transparency Int Asking UK Not to provide Safe Heaven to Nawaz Sharif, But will Uk do it ??
KSA, UAE, UK are all well known to provide safe heaven to most to all of our criminal and wanted people.
Why all criminals like Isaq Dar, Nawaz Sharif, his family members and other politicians decide to go to UK for hiding and invest their looted money there - is UK a heaven for criminals or hidden place
Why would UK do this? Their banking system would suffer if they went after third world money launderers. It's not in their interests to do anything about this. They don't suffer from reputational damage either. The Uk, Swiss, Panama continue to provide a safe haven for instance and Assalyums to these criminals. London has become the safe haven for looters, (NS)murderers and criminals. (Altaf Hussain), Asif Zardari, Ex Pak PM Raja Pervaiz Ashraf , Rehman Malik and many of cabinet members and ex goverment officials.
I hope UK listens. Many criminals have got properties there.
They gave free pass to Altaf in money laundering case and put 3 Pakistani cricketers in jail for few thousands pounds, they would never take actions for free flow billions coming in from poor countries rulers, very sad affairs.
the Brits are also involved in this triangle as it brings money in their country. There are rules and then their are rules that justify them. Ask them about Ghaddafis money they used to shore up their banks. People who make rules always have loopholes. Look at Altaf Bhai enjoying a good life in UK. But we need to shame them in following the rules as it is killing our economies and poor countries . Don't let the pressure down.
The irony here is that if any Pakistani is stopped at a British airport coming out from there carrying more than £3,000 in cash to take abroad, without any adequate explanation, receipts or bank statements, the money will be confiscated by customs officials. They will even go in so far as to contact HRMC (UK's tax body) to see whether your tax and national insurance contributions are paid for the tax years and are uptodate. However, if you move large sums of money to the UK, without a money trail, no questions are asked, particularly if your'e a political heavyweight. UK is fast gaining the reputation to provide shelter to the corrupt politicians from around the world as well as the money such politicians loot from their poor countries and bring to invest in the UK !!
Lot of the London property has appreciated artificially due to black money pouring in from Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia.
The British government must do the right thing and seize his assets. These assets were bought with looted money that belong to the poor people of Pakistan. So it is the responsibility of the British government to return the money to Pakistan. Just like the British government would have expected Pakistan to arrest their criminal.
If a layman had to apply for UK,Canada or other countries immigration, he is asked to provide police clearance certificate. How come big shots having been charged or convicted are not asked before giving them any kind of Visa.
Will something happen ? Will UK will cooperate with Pakistan in handing over Avenfield properties to Pakistan Govt. The court should instead confiscate NS's properties in Pakistan.
