It said that "Asim Bajwa’s wife, Farrukh Zeba, is an equal shareholder in the businesses of Bajco Group" along with his brothers while noting that his wife had "no known business experience."
The website also allegedthat Bajwa's sons have "absolute ownership of companies in the sectors of mining, construction, marketing, real estate, beverages, fashion and cosmetic manufacturing and investments in Pakistan."
