Detail  of NAB makes biggest plea bargain in history

The Executive Board of NAB in a surprise move on Wednesday accepted the plea bargain request of more than Rs 2 billion of former Balochistan Finance Secretary Mushtaq Ahmad Raisani and Sohail Majeed Shah, contractor and frontman of Khalid Lango, ex-adviser to CM Balochistan for Finance.

According to the NAB spokesperson, the law allowed for a plea bargain to be made with a suspect during seven months of interrogation. Spokesperson Nawazish Ali said that he was not sure why certain people were quoting the Rs 40 billion amount with regard to Raisani.

 “That figure was never quoted by NAB,” he said.

However, when quizzed as to how much amount did Mr Raisani embezzle, Nawazish Ali did not answer the question. Instead, he claimed that Raisani will not be able to obtain a loan from any government bank for 10 years.

PTI chief Imran Khan also slammed the plea bargain move, claiming that Raisani was walking scot-free after being involved in financial corruption of Rs 40 billion.
