Broadsheet LLC owner Kaveh Moussavi’s allegations that the Sharif family approached him with a bribe has made a splash in the media, as the state-owned news agency Associated Press of Pakistan ran a headline based on the lawyer’s claim in a video interview this week.

Several newspapers carried this story and it became the focus of discussions on social media as well as talk shows.

Among other allegations levelled against former premier Nawaz Sharif, the asset recovery firm’s owner Mr Moussavi claimed that a person who claimed to be associated with Mr Sharif approached him in 2012 and offered a sum of money to drop the probe against him.
