Not only that but the Awan clan is akin to our Kennedys or Rothchilds here in the states. They command a huge audience and have a lot of clout. Imran gets parades when he comes back to pakiville.
Imran was sending money and gifts to government officials in Pakistan and received protection from the Pakistani police, multiple relatives claim. A Democratic aide also said Imran Awan personally bragged to him that he could have people tortured in Pakistan.
Imran's relatives said Awan and his brothers were also sending IT equipment, such as iPhones, to the country during the same period in which fraudulent purchase orders for that equipment were allegedly placed in the House, and in which congressional equipment apparently went missing.
Awan’s stepmother, Samina Gilani, said the brothers were paying off a Pakistani police officer Azhar Awan and that he is their cousin. Facebook confirms that Azhar works for the police and is Facebook “friends” with the congressional network.
A source close to the investigation, who was not unauthorized to comment publicly, said the FBI generated suspicious activity reports on the suspects that were hundreds of pages long, based on their large cash deposits and international transfers.
A fellow Democratic House IT aide, speaking on condition of anonymity because of concern for his career, recounted a conversation between Awan and three colleagues in a House cafeteria several years ago in which Awan seemed to relish bragging about his ability to have people harassed in Pakistan.
“He wanted to build a CRM [customer relationship management software] but he wanted to do it in Pakistan,” the aide told TheDCNF. “But the government doesn’t allow that. They have to be American, but Imran said, ‘Well, we can say that they’re American, but really they’ll be in Pakistan. " ==============================================
Imran's attorney told The New York Times that, in the words of the paper, “the money transfer represented the latest payment by his client for a piece of property he was buying in the country.” (cue laugh machine here)
