I think people are getting confused about all these off shore companies issue. The issue isn't that they have offshore companies but about the money that went into those offshore companies, the origin of the money whether the wealth gained was via legal or malicious practices.
Let me break it down for for IK and NS group
Imran Khan
IK made an offshore company and bought 1 flat in 1983 from his money which he earned while he was still playing cricket. He sold the flat in 2003 and transferred the money to Pakistan through legal channels (Habib Bank) with which he built the house in Bani Gala.
The money is traveling from overseas to Pakistan. IK was not in politics nor did he hold an public office. He has also never even tried to hide any of his assets. His assets are declared and can be found on PTI's website. Below is the link for forum members convenience.
P.S. Please let me know if i missed anything
Since the topic is Imran Khan, let me give a focused reply on that:
1- Imran Khan started politics in 1996, PTI was formed
2- Imran Khan fought elections in 1997, did not declare the off shore company to ECP
3- Imran Khan won election in 2002 and held public office for mianwali seat but did not declare the offshore company.
4- Property was sold in 2003 and off shore company was closed 6 months ago in 2015, again no mention in 2013 election papers.
5- While 400 people in Panama papers are found by their names, Imran Khan kept his off shore company in secret names, it was only found by reverse engineering the property record.
