Humza | 9 years ago | Reply @Sarmad: The evidence is from British authorities themselves and it has to do with large sums of cash found in the UK home of Altaf Hussain. The case has nothing to do with the government of Pakistan. The case has everything to do with money laundering in the UK. The details will emerge during the case by British police so it will be be good to see an independent foreign body comment on the goings on of the MQM. I am glad to hear that you have faith in the meticulous nature of the British police and will therefore accept their accusations when brought forward.
John | 9 years ago | Reply From an alleged "educated, middle class" politician to International Money Launderer. Any MQM apologist cares explaining what is a middle class man doing in the middle of money laundering investigations worth hundreds and thousands of pounds? Let me guess, the universe conspired or was it the angels this time?
