New Islamabad Airport contractor paid Rs 560 mln kick backs to Mariyam Nawaz: Shahzad Akbar.

ISLAMABAD -- Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Barrister Shahzad Akbar Thursday said the contractor of New Islamabad Airport Mian Munir transferred kickbacks of Rs 560 million in to the accounts of Chaudhry Sugar Mills, owned by Mariyam Nawaz Sharif. Talking to media persons, he said Technical Associates, one among the three contractors of New Islamabad Airport was owned by Mian Munir.

Technical Associates had also transferred Rs 50 million in the account of then Advisor to Prime Minister for Aviation Shujaat Azeem in June 2015.

He said political elite had minted money by placing favorites in the institutions.

He said 45 percent shares of Chaudhry Sugar Mills were owned by Mariyam Nawaz Sharif. Mian Munir is the father in law of the daughter of Mariyam Nawaz Sharif.

In May 2017, he said Technical Associates had transferred Rs 310 million in the account of Chaudhry Sugar Mills via various accounts.

Likewise in December 2017, another Rs 250 million was transferred in to the account of Chaudhry Sugar Mills.

He said Chaudhry Sugar Mills, having over Rs 5.6 billion assets was established by Nawaz Sharif in 1991. Interestingly, the declared assets of Nawaz Sharif were only Rs 1.3 million, which clearly indicates that Nawaz had no assets to establish a sugar mill.
