Transparency International (TI) Pakistan has requested the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chief to examine the role of a NAB official, who allegedly suppressed an investigation into a Rs63 billion financial scam in spite of fact that the TI Pakistan pointed it out to him repeatedly.
Referring to a report published in a newspaper on June 28, the TI Pakistan said it had informed NAB that banks illegally earned Rs5.3 billion in 2012 by mis-declaring the transactions being made as remittances, and that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) kept accepting the false claims of banks.
