Pakistani fraudster on US-Iran negotiation team

Umar Farooq Zahoor, a Pakistani national with a criminal record, is reportedly part of Pakistan's negotiation team preparing for upcoming diplomatic talks between the United States and Iran. Zahoor was sentenced in Norway's Oslo district court to one year in prison for gross embezzlement in a $6 million bank fraud case. He has also been wanted by Interpol on charges of defrauding 27 people of NOK 120 million through a fake bank in Switzerland. His inclusion in a sensitive diplomatic team raises serious questions about the vetting and composition of Pakistan's delegation.
