LONDON: General Khalid Maqbool, the second Chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), has said Pakistan signed the contract with Broadsheet LLC to deal with the “common perception that our elite had removed money and assets from Pakistan to outside” and got trapped as Broadsheet started making demands on recoveries from inside Pakistan, using the contractual clauses.
General Khalid Maqbool, who served as NAB Chairman from September 26, 2000 to October 20, 2001 after General Amjad left NAB, told the arbitration judge as a witness that there was public pressure and Pakistani authorities thought that Broadsheet would actually find the assets as perceived.

LONDON: The former National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman General Munir Hafiez told London High Court that Broadsheet was provided all help by Pakistani authorities and clearly told as late as November 2002 to find assets of Nawaz Sharif and continue investigating him but failed to make any recoveries or trace an assets outside Pakistan.
Lieutenant General (retired) Munir Hafiez served as NAB’s powerful chairman between 1st November 2001 to 31st October 2005 and he authorised termination of the contract with Broadsheet LLC and International Assets Recovery (IAR) towards the end of 2003 after realising that Broadsheet was providing no “tangible” help.

LONDON: The Broadsheet LLC did absolutely nothing to bring back the looted assets to Pakistan, lied and exaggerated.
Former NAB Prosecutor General Farouk Adam Khan’s son secretly worked for a Broadsheet partner and the Broadsheet agreement was signed without approval from the relevant ministers.
Broadsheet used the info provided by NAB to make claims on the “targets” without any results, said NAB’s former chairman General (retd) Syed Amjad, who signed the contract with the Broadsheet LLC on behalf of the State of Pakistan/NAB.
This correspondent has seen hundreds of pages of correspondence between NAB and Trouvons (which later turned into Broadsheet LLC, Isle of Man), court documents and General Amjad’s testimony before Sir Anthony Evans, the arbitration judge at the London High Court, who found that the Pakistan government criminally conspired to defraud Broadsheet LLC through contractual violations.
