It should be noted that Broadsheet LLC is a British company that was registered in the Isle of Man during Pervez Musharraf's tenure and used it to track assets allegedly bought abroad by Pakistanis through illicit wealth. Broadsheet claims to have assisted the government and the newly formed National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Worked closely with then-president and NAB for remittances.

According to the same broadsheet, the company was set up exclusively for the export of assets and funds and was therefore linked to obtaining information on such items and returning them to the state, said a lawyer affiliated with the company. Broadsheet was the top target of the investigation, but the deal was scrapped by the NAB in 2003. The controversy erupted earlier this week when the company's owner, Kave Mousavi, claimed to be affiliated with Nawaz Sharif. One of the perpetrators contacted him in 2012 and offered money to stop the investigation against him.

A man named Anjum Dar, calling himself Nawaz Sharif's nephew or nephew, came to his service in 2012. I an meeting him twice, once in Canterbury and then in London," he said. The man offered him crore 2.5 million, saying he showed me a picture of Nawaz Sharif hugging him at home and sitting with him. He also made a tape recording. Yes, it was in Urdu so I don't know what he was saying.

Asked if he had considered the offer, Mousavi said: "When we realized that he was offering us money to withdraw, my answer was that What is being offered should come through lawyers in arbitration.
