ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday launched a probe into former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s assets following allegations of owning properties exceeding his salary competence.
The inquiries have been launched after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) provided the anti-corruption investigation body with the probe warrant.
According to Geo News, NAB had earlier dismissed a complaint sent by Inam-ul-Raheem that alleged Musharraf of possessing properties that exceed his income’s capacity to afford.
The cognate petition was run in the IHC which provided sanction in the matter. The investigations were carried out after the appellant forwarded another letter to the NAB. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has also revealed that the former military dictator has not even paid his income taxes, the source added.
The sources have mentioned that NAB has sought evidence from the petitioner to base the investigations into the matter.
