The six others include Farasat Ali, Imtiaz Ali, Amir Sohail, Wajid Ahmad, and Amir Fayyaz. According to the challan presented by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the accused have been charged with money laundering and fraud.
The court has frozen the properties of seven accused, except for Moonis Elahi and Zaigham Abbas, until August 20. The FIA has also approached Interpol for the arrest of Moonis Elahi, and red notices have been issued. The agency has stated that the process for the red warrant is ongoing.
Moonis Elahi’s father, Parvez Elahi, is also facing money laundering charges. The FIA has accused Moonis Elahi and others of receiving kickbacks and bribes and failing to explain their assets. The court has directed Moonis Elahi’s counsel to present arguments until August 20.
The case has sparked significant interest in Pakistan, with many calling for accountability and transparency. The FIA’s efforts to crack down on money laundering and fraud have been welcomed by many, and the agency’s determination to bring the accused to justice is seen as a positive step towards combating corruption in the country.
The court’s decision to freeze the properties of the accused and the issuance of red notices by Interpol demonstrate the seriousness of the charges and the determination of the authorities to pursue the case to its logical conclusion. As the case proceeds, many are watching with interest to see how it will unfold and what consequences the accused will face if found guilty.
