Where Did the Saudi $Billion Dollar Bribe Go?

[Irfan Baloch]

Some sobering thoughts guys,
when Nawaz Government came in power it made it clear that it was cancelling the Pak-Iran gaspipe line deal. Not much information was out. Saudis didnt like the Idea and neither did the Americans and it was all too convenient.

and then there was the news of Saudi 1.5 Billion dollar "aid" to Pakistan and where it went

Dar called it a gift to Pakistan (read Sherifs)
.. still remains the mystery.. until the news of nearly a billion pound property at 1 Hyde park surfaced together with panama leaks. the property was "gifted" by an unnamed Arab country for a token money. Sherif family being the the Pakistani Sherifs tried to con the British inland revenue by evading the tax but were threatened and had to pay 34 Million pounds for the same or other properties.


it is really sickening to think that the Saudi bribe to cancel the much needed gas project with Iran was pocketed by the Sherifs. if this money is for other "services" then please elaborate.

disclaimer
this thread is not meant to throw scorn on the Sherifs. they are our leaders of course and their kin will rule us for centuries . they represent our mentality our faith or morality our national attitude towards everything in our lives from dealing , fraud, thievery, dishonesty, lying and then bragging about it.


I am just putting 2 and 2 together to see if that "gift" in London is related to that Saudi bribe to deny us the iranian gas?

In Avenfield House overlooking Hyde Park, bang on Park Lane, where Nawaz Sharif's son Hasan owns a splendid home, a two-bedroom flat is currently on sale for £900,000. And one would assume Shahbaz Sharif is higher up in the Sharif hierarchy than Hasan.

extract from Guardian
http://www.theguardian.com/news/201...world-leaders-tycoons-secret-property-empires

Also named in the files is Mariam Safdar, the married name of the daughter of the Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif. A 2012 email identifies Safdar, usually known as Mariam Nawaz Sharif, as having been the beneficial owner of two offshore companies that each own flats in Avenfield House on Park Lane.

The Sharif family has previously denied any impropriety in relation to the property, saying they were bought because the Sharif children were studying in London. On Monday the Sharif family issued a statement declaring that Safdar “is not a beneficiary or owner of any of these companies”. Separately Sharif’s son, Hussain, said that the family had done nothing wrong. “It is according to British law and laws of other countries that it is a legal way to avoid unnecessary tax via offshore companies,” he said.

Sir, that money was credited to Pakistan's foreign reserves at a time when they were particularity low. It is a matter of record.

the British inland revenue disagrees with you 1 Hyde park property is a reality and valued over a billion by London estate agents

Sir, that money was credited to Pakistan's foreign reserves at a time when they were particularity low. It is a matter of record.

I see.. so this gift was for being a good boy.

makes sense now

But the treasury received only USD 750 Million.......where did the other USD 750 Million go?

 

[Vapnope]

Transparency even in our democracy is a farce. We cannot know for sure where that money went.

Sir, why do you think SA wanted Pakistan to put boots on the ground in Yemen? Even now, it is only a matter of time before Pakistan gets involved in that mess.

If I am not wrong in my analysis, it was because they wanted further sectarian commotion in Pakistan, this would have not only solved their gas pipeline issue but would have created further bad impression of Pakistan being terror bound country. Believe me none of our so called brothers want peace in this country. Peace and tranquility in Pakistan means economic death to many unconditional supporters (in times of NS and ZH).

Every country follows its own national interests, others be damned. That is just the way it is. It is for Pakistan to see what serves its own national interests before anyone else's.

the British inland revenue disagrees with you 1 Hyde park property is a reality and valued over a billion by London estate agent

From wiki:

"One Hyde Park is a major residential and retailcomplex located in Knightsbridge, London. The development includes three retail units (Rolex,McLaren Automotive and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank) totalling 385,000 sq ft (35,800 m2) and 86 residential properties marketed with prices starting at around £20 million"

that billion dollar went to SBP reserves... same happens to IMF loans

I thought you were going to remind me about the Beauty of Democracy

where Ch Sher Ali of Nawaz Leauge accuses Rana Sanaullah Law Minster of murdering 20 people to which Sherifs say that they are going to reconcile their "differences" soon.

but mentioning Yemen makes me wonder if House of Sherif received the Saudi gift for the promise of taking part in Yemen invasion?
I must clarify that many faithful Pakistani mercenaries did join the saudi invasion and laid their lives for the house of Saud and if they are lucky.. some compensation might trickle down to their relatives back in Pakistan.

What is happening in Yemen is still on-going Sir, and will inevitably involve Pakistan on a slowly increasing scale. This is just the early days.

I know
Like I said earlier we are already involved in it.. someone will surely take place of retired Gen Hamid Gul
he was running the Pakistani mercenary show sending of Pak Army veterans (preferably Sunnis as requested by our Muslim Arab "brothers") to quell the uprising against the Arab monarchies and to subdue Yemenis
Arab monarchs have a very low threshold of patience and they wont waste time with Pakistan army exercises for the sake of exercises in the scorching deserts

to stop the Persian Ayatullahs they have to confront and fight and that requires sacrifice with blood (of non-Arab grateful / indebted "Rafeeqs")

but rhetoric aside I agree with you.. morals be damned in the end it is your national interest

for America ........ which makes you smile and kiss the cheeks of your Arab counterpart and call them Allies without throwing up.

Sir, morals are for people, nations have only their eternal interests. No matter who or what. That is just the way it is, as I said before. Being an ally only means an ability to work with them, not love them. After all, Pakistan is an ally too.
