British newspapers do not publish anything until they have triple checked. Unlike in other places they fear being sued. The Sharifs won’t sue daily mail because they know they will lose and the penalties would be in millions of pounds. #KhadimEAalaExposed https://t.co/yAny7dI558

The reactions came after Britain-based newspaper Daily Mail exposed an alleged money laundering scandal of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and Shehbaz Sharif from the UK government aid for earthquake victims in Pakistan.

According to a confidential investigation report seen by Daily Mail, millions of pounds were transferred into the bank accounts of Shehbaz’s family members, including his wife, children and a son-in-law.

The newspaper states to have interviewed key witnesses held on remand in jail, including a UK citizen Aftab Mehmood.

Mehmood claims that he had laundered millions on behalf of Shehbaz’s family from a nondescript office in Birmingham – without attracting suspicion from Britain’s financial regulators, who inspected his books regularly.
