According to the FIA list, as many as 1,115 Pakistanis own UAE properties. Out of them, 338 belong to Punjab, 639 are from Sindh, 115 from Islamabad, 18 from KPK and five from Balochistan.
The report states that 417 people out of them availed the tax amnesty scheme. A breakdown shows that 117 people who availed the amnesty scheme belong to Punjab, 267 to Sindh and 29 are from Islamabad.
The FIA probe also revealed that 90 foreign property holders denied owning any asset in the UAE.
Last year, in September, the SC asked the FIA to kick-start a campaign, inquiring about the owners of 2,700 properties identified by the agency.
