Sharif Uddin
Peerzada was a lawyer by profession. He was a unique lawyer who took out all
kinds of scope from the law. General Zia Ul Haq called him a
"Murshid." General Pervaiz Musharraf called him a "BOSS."
In 1999 when General Pervaiz Musharraf took over the Government. Sharif Uddin
Peerzada said to General Pervaiz Musharraf that only two people are dangerous
for you. The first one is Benazir Bhutto, while the second one is Mian Muhammad
Nawaz Sharif. They only control by Accountability Beuro. General Pervaiz
Musharraf liked that idea, so within a week, Accountability Beuro became the
NAB. Lt Gen. Amjad became the chairman
of NAB. Jerry James and Dr. WF were just ordinary American lawyers and friends
of Sharif Uddin Peerzada. When they got the news of Accountability Beuro in
Pakistan, they registered an offshore company named Broadsheet LLC and
approached General Pervaiz Musharraf through Sharif Uddin Peerzada. Broadsheet
put an offer to General Pervaiz Musharraf that we would identify the assets of
corrupt people and, you have to pay 20% of these assets. The proposal seems
good to General Pervaiz Musharraf. He thought that Pakistan doesn’t have to pay
a single penny from its pocket and get 80%. The company also said that they
have proof of Sharif family assets worth five billion dollars. When General
Pervaiz Musharraf listened to all these details, he became happy and ordered
the chairman NAB to sign an agreement with Broadsheet. Farooq Adam was the NAB
prosecutor at that time. He even didn't read the consensus with full
concentration and nodded his head. Lt Gen. Amjad and Dr. WF signed the
agreement. Representative of Broadsheet in Pakistan named Tariq Fawad malik
signed in the box of witnesses. NAB handed over a list of 200 people to
Broadsheet. The whole Sharif family, Aftab Ahmad Sherpao, General Zahid Akbar,
Admiral Mansoor Ul Haq, and Businessmen, Beaurocrats and politicians were
included in the list. NAB also signed an agreement with another company named
Eastern Recovery for the assets of the Bhutto family. Both companies started
their Job.
Kaveh
Moussavi was associated with Broadsheet London. He was of Irani descent.
Working as a teacher at Oxford University and also worked in Human Rights. He
was in contact with Akbar S. Babar, the first high commissioner. Akbar S. Babar
was a retired bureaucrat, intellectual, and professor. He also made a film
named "Jinnah." One of his relatives was Brigadier in Pakistan
Army. Through that Brigadier, he met
General Pervaiz Musharraf. He appoint as a High Commissioner. Later on, the
scandal of "Jinnah" movie came out and, he was involved in it. So,
after six months, he was replaced by Abdul Qadir Jaffar. A well-known Karachi
Businessmen. He belonged to the
Country's renowned Industrial Group, Jaffer Brothers. Kaveh Moussavi also made
his contacts with the new high commissioner. During that period, Jerry James
came to Pakistan several times and collected money from NAB under his context.
In 2001,
corrupt businessmen and bureaucrats started plebiscite with Government. When
the money came in the NAB account, the Broadsheet arrived to get their fare.
NAB asked to Broadsheet, "Which fare." Jerry James put forward the
agreement. In agreement, it's mentioned that the company's responsibility is
only to identify the assets, while the recovery wasn't their responsibility.
NAB would be obliged to pay 20% after each identification.
NAB realized
at that time that they signed the wrong agreement. In 2003, the agreement was
broken and, the company went to International Court for arbitration and, the
case began. With time Government changes, Asif Ali Zardari came into action.
Jerry James contacted the new Government and wants to settle the issue out of
court. Asif Ali Zardari did the approval for settlement. NAB paid the amount to
Jerry James and signed a contract for withdrawal of the case. According to some
facts, the amount paid to Jerry James was five million dollars or 1.5 million
dollars. NAB found out that there was a fraud. Broadsheet LLC defaulted in
2005, after which Jerry James started a new company under his name. Kaveh
Moussavi came out openly at that time and declared that “This Company is mine
and, Pakistan has not had any settlement with me. My claim is valid." The
court accepted his position and, the case went on.
In 2011, Jerry James fell from the fifth floor
of a hotel in Paris and died. The more noticeable thing in all these scenarios
is that, Broadsheet build-up in 1999 and it’s ended in 2005. It didn't have any
other case rather than Pakistan. All past NAB chairmen also admit that
Broadsheet did nothing but deceive the NAB. These people used to collect money
by telling one or another story in every meeting. The International Arbitration
Court in December 2018 ordered Pakistan to pay 60 million to Broadsheet. Kaveh
Moussavi claimed that in 2016, one billion dollars were shifted from Saudi
Arabia to London and, one billion dollars of Nawaz Sharif was lying in a bank
in Singapore. The present Government withdraws 60 million from the accounts of
the Pakistan High Commission and handed it over to Kaveh Moussavi.
The opposition started asking the government who kept the money in the High Commission's account and who allowed the court to withdraw the money and what NAB has recovered from the Sharif family so far? Still, no one is taking any responsibility for these 60 million dollars.
