Nawaz Sharif’s Alleged Connection to Mehrangate
In the Asghar Khan case, Nawaz Sharif has been named as one of the politicians allegedly receiving money (part of the ~Rs 140 million distributed by ISI / Mehran Bank).
According to reports, Sharif was alleged to have received: Rs 3.5 million (from Lt. Gen (retd) Asad Durrani), Rs 2.5 million (from Younis Habib, Mehran Bank)
A banker (Younis Habib) claimed to have personally delivered cash to Nawaz Sharif’s home.
According to a scholarly analysis, a “substantial part” of the funds arranged by Mehran Bank was used for the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI), including for Sharif.
Sharif has strongly denied these allegations.
In his reply to the Supreme Court (in the Asghar Khan case), he stated he never received the amounts claimed (Rs 3.5m or Rs 2.5m) from Durrani or Habib.
He also said that his statement was recorded before FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) back in 2015, where he denied any receipt of ISI money.
In that 2015 FIA statement, he added that if it were proved he had received money, he was willing to return it with interest.
