The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) handed over assets worth more than Rs6 billion recovered in the Kohistan financial corruption case to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government.
NAB Chairman Lieutenant General (retd) Nazir Ahmed formally transferred the recovered assets to KP Chief Secretary Shahab Ali Shah during a ceremony held in Peshawar on Tuesday. According to a statement issued by the anti-graft watchdog, assets worth over Rs6 billion were handed over to the provincial government in the first phase. The recovered assets include cash, gold, valuable properties, and luxury vehicles.
The bureau said that the recovery was made possible through a comprehensive and systematic investigation into the Kohistan corruption case.
The Kohistan financial corruption scandal allegedly involved the embezzlement of more than Rs37 billion in public funds.
