A former Dublin resident has been charged with bilking 10 million dollars from an investor in an alleged scam involving real estate purchases in Pakistan. Federal prosecutors say 35-year-old Haider Zafar solicited investments by boasting of special access to information about pending purchases of property by the Pakistani government. He allegedly spent the money on multiple luxury automobiles.
