In 2000, NAB gave a British company the contract to find hidden foreign accounts of some 200 Pakistanis. During the next few months, a certain PMLQ was carved out of PMLN but nothing was done about those 200 people whose accounts this company Broadsheet was investigating
Many believe these accounts and other corruption cases were used to arm twist Muslim Leaguers into joining the newly formed 'Muslim League Humkhayal' that later turned into Muslim League Jinnah and then Muslim League - Quaid.
PMLQ however failed to win enough seats in the 2002 elections, despite all the rigging, so another set of elected members was forced to defect from PPPP to form PPPP-Patriots. 2 of these 22 members went on to become Interior Ministers - Aftab Sherpao and Faisal Saleh Hayat.
Broadsheet CEO Kaveh Moussavi claims NAB told him to drop investigations against some out of the list of 200. The company, acc to him, declined but the one of those people went on to become Interior Minister. In Oct 2002, elections were held; by Nov 2002, Jamali had become PM.
In mid-2003, NAB ended the contract with Broadsheet. The purpose had already been served. Years later, Pakistan's Supreme Court termed NAB 'a tool of political engineering'.
Now, Broadsheet's financial condition was so fragile, it went insolvent as soon as NAB ended the contract

Panama Papers exposed our ruling elites corruption & money laundering earlier. Now Broadsheet revelations have again exposed the massive scale of our ruling elites corruption & money laundering. These elites cannot hide behind "victimisation" card on these int revelations.
