National February 20, 2021 ISLAMABAD: A foreign assets recovery firm had claimed $515 million as compensation after the termination of its agreement but had settled on a much lower sum of $2 million after negotiations with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). In its objections, the Auditor-General of Pakistan (AGP) held that against a claim of $515.6m, only $2.2m were paid and accepted by International Assets Recovery (IAR), indicating that the demand was not filed on a factual basis. Either the claim was exorbitant or there was some flaw in the agreement reached between IAR and NAB/the Pakistan government, documents show. An amount of $.15m was also paid to Broadsheet LLC, a firm different from the one headed by Kaveh Moussavi. President Dr Arif Alvi, on the recommendation of an official committee, had approved the payment of $3.7 million [$2.2m plus $1.5m] to Broadsheet LLC and IAR by NAB as compensation after the termination of the asset recovery agreement.
