Malik Riaz agrees for £190m settlement with UK investigators

'The assets will be handed over to the Pakistani government'

Pakistani real estate tycoon Malik Riaz Hussain has agreed to hand over cash and assets worth £190 million to UK investigators.

The settlement includes a UK property, 1 Hyde Park Place, London, W2 2LH, valued at approximately £50 million, and all the funds in the frozen accounts.

“In August 2019, eight account freezing orders were secured at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in connection with funds amounting to £120 million. These followed an earlier freezing order in December 2018 linked to the same investigation for £20 million. All the account freezing orders relate to money held in UK bank accounts,” said UK’s National Crime Agency in a statement issued on Tuesday. “The assets will be given to the government of Pakistan.”

Hussain owns Bahria Town, which is one of the biggest private-sector employers in Pakistan and is the largest privately-owned property development firm.
