US Republican Party member Dan Burton is reportedly the largest individual recipient of money from two alleged Pakistani spies who channelled million of dollars to influence members of the US Congress on the Kashmir issue.
According to Politico, Burton, who has been an outspoken advocate on behalf of the Pakistani claim to Kashmir, received at least 10,000 dollars in contributions from Kashmiri American Council (KAC) executive director Ghulam-Nabi Fai since 1990.
Zaheer Ahmad has given at least 2,000 dollars.
Fai and Ahmad are accused of having conspired to act as agents of a foreign government without that interest being declared and falsifying, concealing and covering up the fact.
Both are US citizens and face a prison sentence of five years if convicted.
Shortly before receiving a donation from both Fai and Ahmad, Burton had announced the formation of a Kashmir caucus in the US Congress.
