Money-laundering case: Faryal Talpur challenges ... 03:48 PM | 30 Jul, 2018KARACHI - Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur challenged on Monday the Federal Investigation Agency’s ...
Earlier, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur challenged the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) interim charge-sheet in the money-laundering case.
In her application before the Sindh High Court (SHC), Talpur stated that the FIA’s interim charge-sheet does not clearly mention the charges or her name.
She has pleaded the court to dismiss the FIA’s charges and issue a stay order on the action being taken on its basis.
The FIA is investigating 32 people in relation to money-laundering from fictitious accounts, under which Zardari’s close aide and then-Pakistan Stock Exchange Chairman Hussain Lawai was arrested earlier this month.
Over 20 ‘benami’ accounts at a private bank were opened in 2013, 2014 and 2015 from where transactions worth billions of rupees were made.
The amount according to FIA sources is said to be black money gathered from various kickbacks, commissions and bribes. But despite these huge transactions, the bank authorities never reported them to the authorities concerned including the FIA.
