NCC refers 145 names to TAC, ACC sends 18
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
No politician has applied yet to refer his or her case to the TAC for exoneration, reports UNB.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) director general (admin) Col Hanif Iqbal informed this at the Commission's regular briefing Monday.
ACC Monday sent a second list of 18 corrupt individuals, predominantly sub-registrars, to the Truth and Accountability Commission (TAC) for considering clemency in return for their ill-gotten wealth.
Meanwhile, the National Coordination Committee (NCC) on serious crime and corruption has referred the names of 145 corrupt persons to the TAC for considering their applications for clemency in return for their illegal wealth.
"Yes, we today received 145 cases from the NCC. This is the first referral by the NCC," a well-placed source told the news agency.
The source, however, would not divulge any other details about the names referred.
Earlier, Hanif said, the Commission had sent (on August 14) a list of 17 persons to the TAC for considering their applications for clemency.
Responding to a question, he said in addition to 35 persons referred to the TAC, three more individuals have applied to the ACC for referring their cases.
To another questioner, Hanif said no application has been scrutinized before sending to the TAC.
