NAB TO FILE REFERENCE IN EDEN HOUSING FRAUD

National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has decided to file reference before accountability court against son-in-law MR. Murtaza Amjad of ex-chief justice MR. Iftikhar Muhammad Choudry and other co-owners of Eden housing projects. The reference will be of 19 billion rupees. This has been decided by NAB after having failed to reach plea bargain with the owners. The owners have already fled the country in order to avoid any proceedings against them and NAB has blamed interior ministry for failure to place these people on Exit Control List in time despite specific request by NAB. NAB has said in this regard that it had requested interior ministry to place Dr. Amjad and his sons Murtaza Amjad and Mustafa Amjad to be placed on exit control list but interior ministry failed to do so and all of them fled to Canada. NAB has now decided in its regional board to file reference against Murtaza Amjad, Dr. Amjad, Anjum Amjad and Mustafa Amjad.
