Syed Shibli Faraz said all those who reaped benefits in the financial scandal as well as their facilitators will face the music.

Reports in local media suggest the committee will review Pakistan's agreement with Broadsheet LCC for the period of 2002-2018 to find out who took advantage of the deal.
