The raiding team recovered dollars, Darhams, Riyal, buttons and gold bricks from their possession. Besides these, the team also found Telegraphic Transfer (TT) receipts worth millions of rupees. So much so that the NAB had to use currency note counting machine to count the money.
According to the NAB, corruption was committed in the purchase deal of oil and other things. The officials used to sell tenders after taking bribes and the purchase receipts mentioned higher amount of oil than originally purchased amount of oil. Then the ill-gotten amount used to shift to fake accounts from where this money was wired abroad, the NAB added.
