What is the £190 Million Case?

In the £190 million NAB reference, known as the Al-Qadir Trust case, it is alleged that the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, and his wife received billions of rupees and hundreds of kanals of land from Bahria Town Limited to legitimize £190 million sent by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to the Pakistani government during PTI’s tenure.

This case pertains to the alleged illegal acquisition of land and construction for Al-Qadir University. It involves Malik Riaz and his family, who allegedly benefitted illegally from the NCA’s recovery of £140 million in a money laundering case.

Imran Khan is also accused of concealing facts about the settlement agreement and misleading the cabinet. The amount (£140 million) was received under a settlement agreement and was supposed to be deposited into the national treasury. However, it was adjusted against Bahria Town Karachi’s dues of Rs 450 billion.
