ISLAMABAD – Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has tightened noose around several businessmen, including Sabir Mittho, Chaudhry Ashraf, and Hamid Mushtaq in an illegal assets case.
It is for the second time that former Army Chief General (retired) Qamar Javed Bajwa’s relative has been summoned. Sabir and two other businessmen were summoned to appear on June 28.
Last year, the apex investigation agency found 14 national and five foreign bank accounts involved in suspicious activities. FIA then sought a response on transactions of Rs5.34 billion from Mr Sabir’s account.
The case was however closed before any major probe or findings and he was issued a clearance certificate.
Besides FIA, Anti Corruption Establishment also summoned all three individuals to appear before it on June 26 while FIA has issued separate notices to Ashraf and Mittho for the next days.
The anti-graft agencies directed all accused to appear personally with proper sources of income and belongings.
The development comes as part of the ongoing crackdown on financial indiscretions and misconduct within the business fraternity.
