KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has got lists, containing the names of 3,550 Pakistanis, who have properties in Dubai.
According to FIA Director-General Bashir Memon, the list was very long, and they were working on it. After initial investigation, it would be decided what kind of action would be taken on those listed in it.
The list is not authentic, but it has nine columns, which carry details including names of the owners of properties, addresses, mobile telephone numbers, landline numbers, email addresses, project names, property names and nationality. The last column carries word Pakistani for the property-holders who have a Pakistani passport.
The property dealers said the list had not been issued by the Dubai government. In such a case, Pakistani people would sell their properties off and withdraw their investments. The list shows the Dubai address of over 2,000 Pakistani owners because they either bought the property after coming to Dubai or already reside in the Emirates. However, there are over 800 names with addresses in Pakistan – Punjab 300, Sindh 400, Islamabad 50 and the rest from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Property dealers say though the list hasn’t been issued by the Dubai government [because in that case these Pakistani will transfer their money after selling the properties], it is authentic if it is from a big government construction company and developers.
