Considering the overall situation, pti seems to be a saint as compared to rest. Nani ama nay Junaid safdar kay name per Sara paisa jama kia hua hai
I hope IK takes strict action against those in pti whose names came out, if found guilty. I only came across Aleem Khan and his company is registered with fbr and declared for 15 years. Rest I do not know if there are any big names from pti.

Nearly 700 Pakistanis named in 'Pandora Papers'
Report reveals names of political bigwigs including Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, PPP leader Sharjeel Memon

ICIJ to release the “most expansive exposé of financial secrecy yet” on Sunday.
ISLAMABAD: The wait is finally over as a new investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) into international finance and tax havens titled “Pandora Paper” has been released.
According to Express News, nearly 700 Pakistanis have been named in the report including Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, PPP leader Sharjeel Memon, PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar’s son Ali Dar, Punjab provincial minister Aleem Khan, PTI Senator Faisal Vawda, PML-Q Leader and Federal Minister for Water Resources Monis Elahi.
Besides, retired government officials, former and incumbent bureaucrats, businessmen including Axact’s owner Shoaib Ahemd Sheikh are also mentioned in the report.
The leaked documents also contain names of Finance Minister Tarin’s family, and the son of PM Imran former adviser for finance and revenue, Waqar Masood Khan. The records also reveal the offshore dealings of a top PTI donor, Arif Naqvi, who is facing fraud charges in the United States.
Reacting to the revelation, Prime Minister Imran Khan vowed to investigate all those Pakistanis mentioned in the Pandora Papers saying: “If any wrongdoing is established we will take appropriate action.”
“We welcome the Pandora Papers exposing the ill-gotten wealth of elites, accumulated through tax evasion & corruption & laundered out to financial "havens". The UN SG's Panel FACTI calculated a staggering $7 trillion in stolen assets parked in largely offshore tax havens,” he wrote on his official Twitter handle.
“I call on the international community to treat this grave injustice as similar to the climate change crisis,” he added.
The ICIJ’s major investigation titled: “The Pandora Papers”, is said to be the result of 600 journalists in 117 countries studying for months roughly 11.9 million documents that leaked from the offshore environment.
Leaked documents reveal that key members of PM Imran’s inner circle, including cabinet ministers, their families and major financial backers have secretly owned an array of companies and trusts holding millions of dollars of hidden wealth. However, the documents contain no suggestion that Premier Imran himself owns offshore companies, according to the ICIJ report.
The files show how Moonis Elahi, a key political ally of Imran Khan’s, planned to put the proceeds from an allegedly corrupt business deal into a secret trust, concealing them from Pakistan’s tax authorities. Elahi did not respond to the ICIJ’s repeated requests for comment.
Today, a family spokesperson told ICIJ’s media partners that, “due to political victimisation misleading interpretations and data have been circulated in files for nefarious reasons.” He added that the family’s assets “are declared as per applicable law”.
The newly leaked records reveal the use of offshore services by Pakistan’s elites that rivals the findings of the Panama Papers, which led to Nawaz Sharif’s downfall and helped propel Imran Khan to power three years ago.
Late on Saturday, the ICIJ announced that it was going to release the “most expansive exposé of financial secrecy yet”. In 2016, the ICIJ had released the Panama Papers, which took the world by storm and eventually led to the downfall of governments, including Nawaz Sharif.
Journalist Umar Cheema, who was part of the ICIJ’s team investigating the Pandora Papers, told a private news channel that the names of several Pakistanis were on the Pandora Papers.
“The number of people named in [the Pandora Papers] is more than those named in the Panama Papers,” Cheema said, adding “the names are kind of interesting, but you will have to wait for another 24 hours”. He said that the ICIJ teams worked on the project for two years.
Cheema tweeted that the major international financial investigation has now been concluded, saying it is the biggest investigation conducted so far. Political commentators were quick to add that it would be interesting to see how the government, judiciary and media react this time around.

Many of the transactions in the documents involve no legal wrongdoing.
But Fergus Shiel, from the ICIJ, said: "There's never been anything on this scale and it shows the reality of what offshore companies can offer to help people hide dodgy cash or avoid tax."
He added: "They are using those offshore accounts, those offshore trusts, to buy hundreds of millions of dollars of property in other countries, and to enrich their own families, at the expense of their citizens."
The ICIJ believes the investigation is "opening a box on a lot of things" - hence the name Pandora Papers.
