The list includes political figures, sanctioned individuals, alleged money launderers, and criminals. Pakistani nationals featured on the list have assets estimated to be worth around $11 billion.
Badr further elaborated that during her exile, former PM Benazir Bhutto, along with her children, resided in the Dubai properties. Following her assassination, these properties were inherited by her children, Bilawal and Aseefa.
“The details of the assets owned by Bilawal and Aseefa are available on the ECP’s website,” the spokesperson added. “Details of Bilawal and Aseefa’s Dubai assets are already public. There is nothing new in the story. Nothing is illegal. Apparently, it is a story but not a scandal. Any action based on malice will be challenged on the relevant forums.”
