A few years ago, the National Crime Agency of the United Kingdom agreed to the 190 million pound agreement with the family of property tycoon Malik Riyaz. According to a report published in Dawn, the NCA announced in August 2019 that it was ordered to freeze eight bank accounts of 100 million pounds, ‘who suspects that they have been received from bribery and corruption in a foreign country.’ The NCA said that it had informed the then government run by Imran Khan’s PTI.

Dawn said that it is alleged that Khan asked his colleague Shahzad Akbar to resolve the case on accountability, which in turn ended the case by adjusting the seized money related to the National Treasury against the liability of Bahria Town. Malik Riyaz’s real estate firm Bahria Town Limited illegally acquired thousands of acres of land in Malir on the outskirts of Karachi. It donated hundreds of acres of land to the Al-Kadir Trust, which is a non-profit organization with only two trustees-Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
