According to the report, NAB handed over movable and immovable properties worth Rs532 billion to federal and provincial ministries, departments, and financial institutions. This recovery is part of NAB’s ongoing efforts to return stolen public assets to the state. The bureau also aims to deter financial crimes through such actions.
