“Nawaz Sharif Never Did Corruption,” CEO Broadsheet

• Not a single penny of corruption was found against Nawaz Sharif
• National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is fraud
• Nawaz Sharif was “the victim of a scandalous witch-hunt

Web Desk — A big sigh of relief for the PML-N as Kaveh Moussavi, CEO of a London-based asset recovery firm Broadsheet, has issued an apology to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for being part of a ‘so called’ corruption campaign against the Sharifs.

Broadsheet was contracted by General Musharraf to probe political opponents including the Sharif family.

In an interview with Geo News correspondent in London Murtaza Ali Shah, CEO Broadsheet Kaveh Moussavi said, “We found a lot of plundered wealth [linked to others], but I can categorically state after virtually 21 years of investigation that not one rupee was related to Mr. Nawaz Sharif or any member of his family. If anyone says otherwise they are lying.”

Moussavi further said, “I have no hesitation in issuing an apology to the former prime minister for my being party to a scam and scandalous nonsense masquerading as the National Accountability Bureau,” adding: “NAB is a fraud through and through.”

He admitted that Nawaz Sharif was “the victim of a scandalous witch-hunt.” “When the facts change, I change my views,” he added.

On several occasions last year, Moussavi had claimed to have evidence of “corruption” against Nawaz Sharif and had even claimed that the Sharif family approached him with a bribe.

The Sharif family has been continuously denying the allegations, and even secured the payment of £20,000 (Rs4.5 million) in litigation costs last year from the firm after it was unsuccessful in its attempts to lay a claim on Avenfield apartments.

What is Broadsheet and Who is Kaveh Moussavi?
Broadsheet LLC was registered in the Isle of Man on June 20, 2000. Broadsheet maintains that it was created to be a company specializing in the recovery of assets and funds and was, therefore, engaged to trace, locate and transfer such items back to the state.

Broadsheet helped the Musharraf government and the newly-established NAB track down foreign assets purchased through alleged ill-gotten wealth. Owned by Moussavi, an Iranian-born former Oxford University academic, Broadsheet is now under his supervision after he initially funded the arbitration and previously served a year-long prison sentence in England for contempt of court in unrelated proceedings.

“Twenty-two years ago when Musharraf asked us to investigate Nawaz Sharif, we were led to believe and started investigating, and at every turn, we found that the investigation was sabotaged not because we were getting close but because that the intention was a witch hunt,” he said in the interview. “The National Accountability Bureau also subjected us to a fraudulent misrepresentation.”
