  1. Rehman Malik running Private Spy Agency in London: Shaffaf Limited

    By Dr Shahid Qureshi
    Sunday 17 April 2011
    Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik owner of London base Spy Agency ‘Shaffaf Limited’ submitted his over due annual returns and accounts to the Companies House. He has submitted his Private Limited Company’s accounts of Company No. 03908422, and annual returns until 15/02/2012, the accounts made up to 31/05/2010. The company was registered (incorporated) 18/01/200 and registered business code 7460 – and nature of business (SIC (03) Investigation & Security.

    Interestingly this company’s Registered Office address is SHAFFAF LIMITED, SUITE 101-102, 38 EDGWARE ROAD, LONDON, W2 2EW. The same address where reportedly Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousaf Raza Gillani and PPP party Chairman Bilawal Zardari had a lunch last week. We wrote to Farah Isphani, Fasial Karim Kundi for comment but did not receive any response. We would welcome comment from Mr Malik.

    The company was originally registered at the address where Benazir Bhutto and Javeed Pasha had some kind of interest and been frequent visitors. Business address: Shaffaf Limited (Security and Detective Agency), Dr A Rehman Malik, Crown House Suit, 603 – 604, North Circular Road, London, NW10 7PN

    Rehaman Malik is the only Interior Minister (head of Pakistan’s security agencies. There was a time when a notification was issued to give ISI under interior ministry (civilian control) i.e. under Rehman Malik which was later revoked due to obvious pressures. Rehman Malik and Zardari regime never stopped putting Pakistan’s national security at risk. They issued visas to Indians and US private mercenaries from UAE illegally on weekends by passing the law that visa should not be issued from a third country on the alleged instructions of Awais aka Tappe a close relative President Zardari.

    Unlawful Command: “Those officers who followed and/or are following Rehman Malik's treacherous orders were/ are like following 'unlawful commands'. Following this traitor's orders are committing crimes against state of Pakistan including the officials based in the embassies abroad? How can he run a British private detective security agency and interior ministry of Pakistan? It is shameful and treacherous”, Said a senior analyst.

    Rehman Malik’s ‘Shaffaf Limited’s role in Benazir Bhutto’s murder:
    According to information available on his website: During 26 years active service as civil servant and as a Member of Federal Investigation Agency (Equivalent to FBI/USA), Government of Pakistan, Dr. A. Rehman Malik had held the post of Director General of FIA besides heading various regional offices of the department such as Crime Zone, Peshawar, Immigration, Interpol and National Security Cell, Ministry of Interior. The incumbency of these positions involved formulation and implementation of policy to be followed by the various sections of FIA and overseeing the investigation of cases of diverse nature. During this period of in his working in FIA he had been involved into anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering operations, which has earned him a respectable position within the world law enforcement community. In recognition of his services, the then President of Pakistan had awarded him Sitara-e-Shujaat medal (for gallantry) in 1995. He had represented Pakistan in a number of international and national conferences and seminars

    Rich Experience in the field of Investigations, Security, Telecommunication General Administration & Management, and Security Consultant to Multinational Concerns. Presently running successful international business operations. Established in the year 2000 SHAFFAF GROUP started its business in the field of security consultancy and corporate fraud investigations. Now over the years, the SHAFFAF GROUP progressed significantly and entered into divergent areas of businesses ranging from security services to building vehicles running on Compressed Air Technology (CAT), handling VoIP traffic throughout the world, became part of a consortium with world renowned partners to bring out a National Security Protection Suite, which caters all the needs of any security agency, and TV entertainment. The Group is investing heavily to ensure efficient and cost effective services in the fields of its expertise to its clients around the globe.

    Following pertinent questions could be asked:

    Almost all private detective agencies in the UK are run by ex security services/police/CID etc personals. How come a foreign national was allowed to operate a company?
    Why Foreign Nationals /dual nationals are posted on most sensitive position in Pakistan?
    Is there any Law of Conflict of Interest in Pakistan?
    Has he signed any document to be advisor if not than he is a free man to pass on info later on because he has not signed any oath/secret service act etc?
    If Mr. Rehman Malik was head of a security agency and an expert than why Benazir Bhutto was killed on the street and he didn’t got a scratch?
    Why was he not travelling with her?
    Did Rehman Malik has any knowledge about Benazir Bhutto making request to Israeli Agency MOSSAD for protection?
    He is Business partner of Benazir Bhutto now Asif Zardari – (oil for food program, Villas in Spain’)
    Minimum requirement to work as a policeman in UK is British Citizenship with at least 10 years of professionals’ track record and references.
    How come Rehman Mailk started a detective agency without being British citizenship? Or is he British citizen?
    When Mr Malik got his client i.e. Benazir Bhutto killed for ignoring basic security principle/code, how come he becomes Security Advisor to PM, senator and now Interior Minister Head of all the intelligence agencies.
    He should be sacked straightaway or resigned himself but President Zardari promoted him? That is how much Zardari loves Benazir Bhutto.
    Who are his employers and who are they?
    He claims that he arrested Yousaf Ramzi but in actual fact there was no anti-terror unit in FIA until 2002. One can ask him how did you do it?
    Why he is not been investigated for removing the backup car i.e. life line of Benazir Bhutto from the scene?
    He lied on camera about the incident and misled people of Pakistan?

    Empty words: Technology that doesn’t exist, security that isn’t real

    By Umer Nangiana
    Published: April 18, 2011

    ISLAMABAD:
    Newer strategies coupled with the introduction of modern technology in the past three years have reduced the burden of responsibility of security in Islamabad on human resources by reducing their involvement.

    This was claimed by Interior Minister Rehman Malik in response to a question in the National Assembly on Friday.

    He noted the procurement and subsequent deployment of scanners that detect explosives at the city’s entry points, the introduction of an Access Control System and installation of CCTV cameras at different places by police under the Safe City Project are some of the steps where technology had replaced people.

    Some police officials, however, speaking on condition of anonymity, denied the minister’s claims.

    “A majority of such steps are present on paper only. Those that did materialise are either not working properly or were outright failures,” said a police official.

    The scanners were a particular focus of criticism. Sources in the police said that only one of the two scanners was working at Rawat entry point, while the other, which was supposed to be deployed at Golra entry point has been standing idle at Police Lines Headquarters for months.

    “The authority responsible for providing fuel and maintenance for the scanners refused to take the burden, and police did not have the resources to bear the expenses,” said a police official. The officials who spoke to The Express Tribune wondered if the scanners were at all effective.

    ‘The idea was to check vehicles laden with explosives and weapons and protect the city against car bombs, but I doubt that these scanners can detect explosives beyond a limited range,” said a police official.

    Moreover, it is practically impossible to check all vehicles entering the city through these scanners. A majority of police officials were convinced that the so-called “explosives scanners” were nothing more than mere cargo scanners.

    Malik also claimed that the police were installing close circuit (CCTV) cameras at different places in the city under the Safe City Project and after its completion the police deployment will be reduced.

    However, police sources said that not a single such CCTV had been installed yet. “A plan to install CCTV at some points was under consideration but it never went anywhere as the authorities were unwilling to bear the project cost,” said a police official.

    Many police officials were clueless about the nature of the Access Control System, which the minister claimed had been introduced at the Supreme Court building and other points. When told such system allows access to a person on recognising his identity through fingerprints or ID cards, the police officials said it was still in the pipeline.

    Besides introducing new technology, the minister claimed that the use of canine unit by the police, withdrawal of excess deployments, dual role of traffic police mobiles, the establishment of
    e-enablement project, erection of boundary walls around police stations, review of pickets and use of cemented blocks had reduced human involvement in security arrangements.

    On the contrary, police officials maintained they were facing an acute shortage of personnel for operations. They said most of the police personnel are attached to the security division and are responsible for the security of key government installations and officials.

    One wonders if this was the answer the Member of the Parliament Kashmala Tariq wanted from the interior minister.

    The fact that Tariq is one of the politicians facing threats from militants gives some idea as to what information she was looking for, particularly after the assassination of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer by a member of his security detail.

    Dawn News ran this story on their channel a short while ago and Rehman Malik says he resigned from the company and it is now being run by his family. lol

    So the "londonpost" has just gained some credibility. Who's running this site?

    This is the dawn story @msohail is talking about..


    Govt loses Rs30 billion: Rehman Malik reaps ‘grey’ calls windfall

    ISLAMABAD, June 14: The government is facing an estimated annual revenue loss of over Rs 30 billion on account of ‘grey telephony’ under which international calls are re-routed through local — often illegal — exchanges to avoid local taxes, mainly because of policies designed apparently to favour a sitting powerful minister.
    ...
    One of the leading beneficiaries of the grey traffic is Rodcom Europe, now being renamed as Hollywell Solutions. Rehman Malik, the sitting interior minister, is the chairman of London-based Rodcom Europe — a specialised VOIP (voice-over internet protocol) company established in 2001 “offering a limited number of high quality routes to a limited number of high quality customers”, according to the company website.

    It says its early destinations were mainly to Europe and “Pakistan soon joined them when VOIP licences were first issued in 2003”. Rodcom’s activities in Pakistan, the website claimed, “have grown to a level where we are now one of the top five senders of Pakistan calls in Europe
    [So RM got this favor from Musharraf]
    ...
    Regardless of whether or not Rodcom is operating legally, Rehman Malik’s ownership of the company raises moral and ethical questions. “That a federal minister who oversees law enforcement agencies which are required to curb such illegal telephone calls, should own a company involved in this business is clearly a conflict of interest,” an observer said.
    [Another example of fox guarding the hen house]
    ...
    What makes the conflict of interest issue more serious is the fact that the current government has not made a concerted effort to eliminate the grey traffic; instead circumstantial evidence suggests that official policies have encouraged such activity.
    ...
    HOW GREY TRAFFIC RUNS: Grey traffic is defined as the use of illegal exchanges for making international calls, bypassing the legal routes and exchanges. These illegal exchanges include VOIP (Voice-Over Internet Protocol) that uses a computer; GSM (Global System for Mobile) gateways; WLL (wireless local loop) phones or mobile SIMs. This traffic may then be distributed onwards using WLL and mobile numbers.
