Was the £190 million repatriation deal between the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and a property tycoon finalized without Imran Khan’s government’s facilitation?
Documents reveal that Khan’s government actively facilitated the deal, including removing the tycoon’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL) at least 20 times. The court recently sentenced Khan to 14 years in prison in this case.
Evidence contradicts Khan’s claims of no government involvement. His government issued multiple travel approvals for the tycoon, ensuring he could leave the country freely.
Additionally, Khan’s cabinet approved the confidential agreement between the NCA and the tycoon, including a directive to exempt the repatriated funds from taxes. The tycoon also supported the Al Qadir University project financially under a private arrangement.
This raises serious questions about the government’s role in facilitating the deal and its broader implications, drawing criticism from opposition and analysts alike.
