The premier also pointed out that not only is the nation’s wealth stolen by the elites, but taxpayers’ money paid for recovering this wealth is also wasted because of NRO-like deals.
PM Khan said the government wants complete transparency from Broadsheet on elites’ money laundering and on who asked the firm to stop investigations.
These revelations are just the tip of the iceberg, he added.
