ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has issued notices to 726 workers of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) in connection with an ongoing money laundering case, a private TV channel reported on Sunday, citing sources.
The investigative agency’s counter-terrorism wing sent out notices to 726 people working at different positions within the party, instructing them to get in touch with the Islamabad head office, the report said.
Those sent notices are accused of depositing large sums of money into the funds of Khidmat-e-Khalq Foundation (KKF) – a charitable organisation that operates under the jurisdiction of MQM.
The FIA on Friday had obtained non-bailable arrest warrants for four former and current MQM leaders in connection with the case. An anti-terrorism court in Karachi had issued non-bailable arrest warrants for Babar Ghauri, Khawaja Sohail Mansoor, Ahmed Ali and Arshad Vohra. They have been directed to appear before FIA on November 12 (today).
A money laundering case was lodged against MQM supremo Altaf Hussain and the KKF in Karachi in 2017. However, it was later transferred to the FIA’s Counter-Terrorism Wing in Islamabad.
