ISLAMABAD: Former minister Ijaz ul-Haq has been summoned by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in connection with a money laundering case against him.
According to The News, the son of former president retired Gen. Zia ul-Haq received a summons notice from the federal agency and has been asked to appear at their office in Faisalabad on Tuesday, February 21.
He has been accused of possessing more assets than his reported income and is currently under investigation for money laundering of Rs1.8 billion. Ijaz’s case was transferred to the FIA by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), and he will now be investigated by a joint investigation team.
The FIA’s move to summon the former ally of deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif is part of their ongoing efforts to combat financial crimes in the country.
The agency has been taking stringent measures against money laundering and other illegal financial activities in recent years. The investigation will continue until all aspects of the case have been thoroughly examined and the authorities are satisfied with the results, it said.
