RAWALPINDI (Web Desk) – A banking court on Monday accepted the bail application of supermodel Ayyan Ali in a money laundering case and adjourned the hearing till May 25.
Three applications were presented in court today (Monday) – two of which were from customs officials while the third from Ayyan’s counsel.
Banking Court Duty Magistrate Sabir Sultan heard the petitions of Custom Intelligence officials which stated that Ayyan Ali was not only smuggling foreign currency but was involved in money laundering, which is why a new case had to be lodged.
In her application, the model requested for bail which the court accepted for a hearing scheduled for May 25.
Sources revealed that a complete charge sheet has yet to be submitted in court, and that the court deemed the team to be slower than the police; in terms of progress in the case.
Further, the court attached her money laundering case with a money smuggling case.
Just last month, the investigators probing money laundering charges against the supermodel submitted an interim charge-sheet in court and included two new suspects for interrogation.
Ayyan has so far appeared in front of court seven times.
Ayyan Ali was arrested from the Islamabad Airport on March 14 by customs officials accused of attempting to smuggle $500,000 to Dubai.
