Karachi: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal on Thursday stated that the anti-corruption watchdog had recovered PKR 702 billion through the cancellation of fraudulent land allotment agreements in Sindh, a news source reported. He expressed his views on the matter at the inauguration ceremony of NAB’s ‘Investigation Wing-II’ facility at the Balochistan House in Karachi’s Clifton locality.
Further, Iqbal revealed that NAB had recovered PKR 3.4 billion through plea bargains this year; which is five times more than the amount recovered last year. He stated that the federal institution had planned to file over 100 references in Sindh by the end of 2019. He stated that the amounts received through these recovery methods were ‘unprecedented’ collections; which signalled the beginning of a new era of accountability.
