Now given the post 9/11 rise in property prices, imagine how much more that land would be worth.

And finally when he did pay wealth tax in 1999-2000 on his assets worth much more than Rs 30-40 million in the market (or over half a million US dollars), he coughed up only Rs 710 or $12.

The information from the PPP's document above eliminates the need for speculation - it confirms that Musharraf's property holdings were more than enough to finance the 30 million rupee purchase of his new house in 2003.
