The Facts behind Imported / Stolen Bentley Car
A news has been circulating for many days, many speculations and rumours are going around. I got some details about it after which the story goes something like this
Ahmad Saghir - Islamabad
Since we are not in the habit of doing research, we believe more in rumors and share them without doing investigate. Therefore, for this reason, a small thing becomes a big problem and then people have started using this for their political purposes. The thing is, how did the Bentley car worth millions of rupees, which was taken out of a house of the defense society in the city of Karachi, Pakistan, reach Karachi!
Let me start with a report published in the newspapers of October 2020.
"The newly appointed ambassador of Bulgaria to Pakistan, Prof. Alexander Is Borisov, has been recalled immediately after his appointment on charges of corruption. According to sources, the ambassador had not yet presented his credentials to the President of Pakistan. Therefore, it is rare in diplomatic history that an ambassador is recalled without presenting his credentials to the host country. According to reports, the newly arrived Bulgarian ambassador, Borissov, allegedly became involved in importing cars for Pakistanis and more than his quota of alcohol.
There are some facts that we cannot deny, like the ambassador of any country has a legal right in the country of posting according to the Vienna Convention to take anything from abroad for his personal use. Can order. On which he does not have to pay any duty or customs etc.
Details show that the Bulgarian ambassador took advantage of his diplomatic position to import a Bentley car worth crores of rupees from England, but instead of being used by him, the car was found to be used by a Pakistani. The investigation revealed that the said ambassador had imported this vehicle for his Pakistani friend Naveed Yameen, for which he had received forty thousand US dollars from Naveed Yameen and his associates. Naveed Yameen is also seen standing with former President Zardari in one picture, but this should not give the impression that the Ex President Mr Asif Ali Zardari will also be involved.
Further investigations revealed that several other foreign diplomats were also continuously abusing their privileges under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and selling duty-free imported luxury vehicles to local businessmen.
That is, some people of Pakistani elite class and businessmen were using them for their illegitimate purposes by increasing relations with foreign diplomats. After that, Pakistan Customs seized nine very expensive vehicles which were imported by foreign diplomats with money from Pakistani friends but were being used by Pakistani people. The price of the Bentley car is said to be 50 crores in Pakistani rupees, on which 30 crores of customs duty is charged, which was not paid due to ambassador's privilege.
Not only was the Bulgarian ambassador involved in this car smuggling, but in another instance, the Bulgarian ambassador also made money by importing more than his quota of alcohol for his Pakistani colleagues. In November 2019, the ambassador ordered alcohol for his personal use. The ambassador was authorized to import the consignment weighing 1482 kg but when the container reached Pakistan it weighed more than 2600 kg. From which it is clear that his Pakistani friends have procured huge quantities of expensive foreign liquor through him which is sold at very high prices in Pakistan. On further investigation, 15 diplomats of other foreign countries were also found to be involved in this scam who hand over expensive luxury cars, foreign liquor and other luxury goods to their Pakistani friends after receiving huge commissions.
The report further states that as per official records of FBR, Pakistan Customs seized at least 16 highly expensive vehicles in 2019, including 9 vehicles imported in the name of diplomats in July alone. It was owned by private individuals.
At current tax and duty rates, tax evasion in the 16 cases is estimated at Rs 444.6 million, which also shows how expensive the vehicles were.
Here it has become very clear that the Bentley car stolen from London and exported from Pakistan is now making noise and everyone is very surprised how this car reached Karachi from London. This car was ordered by the Bulgarian ambassador on his diplomatic quota and handed over to the Pakistani in a very simple way two years ago.
Now the question arises that when this car was imported from London by the Bulgarian ambassador, did the dealer who sent the car to the ambassador send a stolen car? If this car was stolen, why did Londoners sit silent for two years and how did they allow the stolen car to leave their country legally? And now suddenly after two years, a sensation is being spread by involving the secret agency of England, that the car stolen from London was taken out of Karachi, while these people knew two years ago that this car was ordered by the Bulgarian ambassador to Pakistan because the car The order was made under all the customs and commercial laws prevailing in England. The second important thing is that, of course, Londoners will also be aware of the news published in Pakistan's newspapers and also about who has the Bentley car, so how is this sudden uproar?
On the other hand, you should also look at those Pakistanis who do not feel ashamed to stake the honor and reputation of the country to earn money. Of course, foreign diplomats do this illegal work on their advice. Lest it happen that foreign countries get tired of these actions of Pakistanis and stop sending their diplomats to Pakistan, because Pakistan is not only infamous, but it also brings a serious kind of infamy to these countries. It is a matter of great shame for any country to find its diplomat involved in illegal and nefarious activities in another country. This not only makes this country laugh but also gives a very wrong impression about this country to the whole world.
The situation that Pakistan is going through today is not digestible. Why is a car imported from London two years ago declared stolen and displayed in Karachi? ? Is this a propaganda whose aim is to defame Pakistan? Or there is a big conspiracy against Pakistan with a big international hand behind it.
