PM Imran Khan welcomes PandoraPapers 'exposing ill-gotten wealth of elites', saying Pakistanis named in the report will be probed while slamming rich countries for not being 'interested in preventing this large-scale plunder'
PM Khan welcomes"Pandora Papers" and vows to investigate"the ill-gotten wealth of elites laundered out to financial havens."
"We welcome the Pandora Papers exposing the ill-gotten wealth of elites, accumulated through tax evasion & corruption & laundered out to financial 'havens,'" Khan said in a long Twitter thread. Khan, who had run for office on an anti-graft platform, said that global poverty levels were fuelled by corruption in tax havens, which he said divert funds away from the general public.
Some 35 current and former world leaders are featured in the documents analysed by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists –– facing allegations ranging from corruption to money laundering and global tax avoidance. One of Khan's predecessors, Nawaz Sharif, was ousted by the country's Supreme Court in 2017 over allegations made in the Panama Papers.
