Special Assistant to Prime Minister Irfan Qadir, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad, said that there were very few examples of such “grand corruption”.

He made the remarks while talking about the Al-Qadir Trust case against PTI Chairman Imran Khan. The case alleges that the PTI chief and his wife, Bushra Bibi, obtained billions of rupees and land worth hundreds of kanals from a real estate firm for legalising Rs50 billion that was identified and returned to the country by the UK during the previous PTI government.

“We were told in Pakistan that the money was received by the government, instead a liability of a certain person was discharged, and subsequently, Pakistan received no money,” he added.
