Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry has stated today Prime Minister Imran Khan has established a special, high-level cell to investigate the Pandora Papers leaks. 

A massive tranche of leaked data on offshore companies — greater in size and range than the Panama Papers — hit the international headlines Sunday night, exposing the financial secrets of the global rich and powerful.

The investigation disclosed that the prime minister’s cabinet members, financiers, retired generals, media owners, and businessmen are in possession offshore companies.

“The prime minister has set up a high-level cell under the Prime Minister’s Inspection Commission to investigate the Pandora leaks, which will present the facts before the nation,” the information minister stated.

The news arrived after PM Imran Khan held a meeting to talk over the leaks and the overall country’s political condition, with senior PTI leaders and federal ministers present there, sources reported.

An initial report in regard to the matter was handed over to the premier after which the participants of the meeting filled him in on the actions that might be taken against the Pakistanis named in the Pandora Papers leak, sources stated.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and other authorities have been given the responsibility to investigate the matter, sources said, with the prime minister instructing to bring forward the findings of the investigation in front of the nation.
