ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) requested the Supreme Court (SC) to form a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to probe the money laundering case.
This development is surfacing after the FIA submitted a report to the SC which outlined the existance of an affiliate trading company of the Omni Group, headquartered in Dubai.
Two bank accounts associated with the Kam Crown Trading Company were opened in the names of Abdul Ghani Majeed, son of former president Asif Ali Zardari’s close aide and Omni Group chairman Anwar Majeed.
Zardari’s counsel requested CJP to postpone the hearing. This request was rejected by the CJP who asked which court gave Zardari and his sister, Faryal Talpur protective bail.
Another aide of former president Asif Ali Zardari, Hussain Lawai was also mentioned in the hearing. As per the FIA, he’s been given a judicial remand and remains in the FIA’s custody.
