The Al-Qadir Trust case involving Malik Riaz and Imran Khan has more twists than initially thought. The £190m settlement included the purchase of a property from Hassan Nawaz at double the market price, and the One Hyde Park flat, bought by MR’s son from Hussain Nawaz. The Pakistani government had to prove that corruption was committed in Pakistan for the money to be returned, and the cabinet approved an out-of-court settlement. MR has not been named in the case and is a beneficiary of the settlement, like IK. If investigated neutrally, no one in power circles would escape unscathed.
